Here is the vendor list for our 3rd week of the BisMarket 2026 season!!

Transitions Yoga will help start your zenful day with free yoga in the park, beginning at 9:00am. Bring yourself, bring your yoga mat, and bring some spare change to drop in one of their three donation jars (Ministry on the Margins, Furry Friends Rockin Rescue, ND Coalition of Human Rights).

🎤🎵🎶🎸Jam out with La Siembre at 10:00am and Stephen Gefroh at 11:45am while you shop, eat, or watch your mini-me's build epic towers with our Imagination Playground blocks!

Remember that we do have vendors that are eligible to accept SNAP benefits!! And if you make a SNAP purchase, we'll give you up to $15 in Beet Bucks each market...these can be used at any of our vendors that sell fresh produce, fresh herbs, or food producing plants!

Our lineup changes each week, so keep in mind your favorite vendor may not be in the same location as a previous week. We do have some vendors along the sidewalk in the park, so make sure to hit all the areas of Kiwanis Park and Sweet Ave!

See you tomorrow!!

Our vendors and staff have recovered from the overwhelmingly successful opening day, so we're ready to get the party started again this Saturday! 🎉😅

Come down to Kiwanis Park at 9:00am with your yoga mat so you can take part in the FREE class that Transitions Yoga offers! Drop some spare change into one of their three donation jars that will help Ministry On The Margins, Furry Friends Rockin' Rescue, or North Dakota Human Rights Coalition.

If yoga really isn't your thing, that's okay! Solidcore will be at BisMarket, offering a beginner's class at 10:30am! This will be a 30 minute, high intensity, low-impact workout to work your core and lower body! No need to sign up, but they do recommend downloading the Solidcore app and creating an account!

After you zen out or work out (or both if you're really ambitious!), hang around, shop, eat, and enjoy our live music! Brian Gray will start his tunes at 10:00am and Wayde Schafer will start at 11:45am! 🎶🎵🎤🎸

🎨 THEO Art School is back with us this season, too! You will find them in the shelter area, where you can create your very own Summer banner using acrylic markers! Their face painters will be there, too, so your kiddos can get some snazzy designs painted on them! And honestly, we won't judge any adults that also want one. There's a kid in all of us, right?!😁

Last, but definitely not least, The American Farm Bureau Federations & ND Farm Bureau will be having an "Ask a Farmer" event. This group consists of several farmers from across the country, representing different sectors of agriculture in different geographic areas; not only will they be available to share information about all the amazing, hard work that farmers put in, they are ready to answer any questions people have about farming. We're so excited that they are doing their pop-up at BisMarket!

Whew! That's a lot of fun packed into our second week!

See you Saturday!

WOW. Just…WOW!!! There really is no other word to describe our opening day!
Wait, yes there is: Successful!!Busy!! Fun!! Chaotic!! And hot. It was definitely hot outside! 🥵

Our BisMarket team was kept so busy that we didn’t get a lot of pictures like we had hoped, so if you have any, please share them in the comments!

🫶🏼On a personal note, I want to give a very loud shout out to our vendors, our board members, and our new staff members…BisMarket has become a community event because of all the hard work each of you put in.
The ones who deserve the loudest shout out, though, are the people who attend BisMarket. Whether it’s weekly, monthly, or once a year that you are able to swing by, this event cannot happen without all of the love and support that you give to these local businesses.
Thank you for being there to watch our organization grow and succeed and sometimes stumble a little. 😅

See you next Saturday!!

Transitions Yoga will be offering FREE community yoga classes at Kiwanis Park every Saturday, beginning at 9:00am, from June through August, weather permitting.
These all-level classes are part of Transitions Yoga's continued commitment to making yoga accessible while supporting local connection through BisMarket and the wonderful vendors that make the market possible.

Each class is donation-based and supports one of three incredible local organizations:

That's not all!! It gets better!! 🤗 Transitions is excited to continue their First Saturday (each month) Coffee Collaboration with Balancing Goat Coffee Co. They generously provide free coffee after yoga so participants can enjoy a warm-up and wind-down experience with their amazing brew.

Yoga participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat and stay after class to enjoy the market, local shopping, and the vibrant community atmosphere of BisMarket!

Classes are open to all levels, and while registration is not required, anyone who signs up in advance through the Transitions Yoga website will be entered into a drawing for a 10-class credit giveaway! Head over to www.transitions-yoga.com and check it out!
