Gipson Play Plaza is scheduled to debut this spring, and the new area just got a little sweeter. Dix Park Conservancy announced the plaza will include a new grab-and-go market at the historic House of Many Porches.

The market will be stocked with products from local vendors like sandwiches, wraps, dips, coffee, baked goods, and frozen treats. Additionally, beer and wine will be available to enjoy on the lawn of the House of Many Porches. A section of the market will also offer merchandise and NC-centered items.

If you’re a local business owner and would like to have your products available at the market, email dixparkhomp@gmail.com to learn about vendor opportunities.
