the ritual market

"ritual market is a high vibe, eclectic market hosted in the kennebec valley that features a rotating variety of vendors and their offerings. we host multiple events a year to offer a supportive, welcoming environment to connect and allow vendors to share their products with the public."

our goal is to cultivate a space that transcends traditional marketplaces, fostering connection, inclusivity, and a celebration of diverse talents where vendors and visitors alike can engage and create lasting connections. our mission goes beyond commerce; it is rooted in the belief that the act of making and sharing creates bonds that transcend the average shopping experience.
