DeKalb Market

Dekalb Market is a new community destination coming to Downtown Brooklyn’s Fulton Mall early Summer. Dekalb Market, housed in a collection of salvaged shipping containers, will bring together Brooklyn’s creative entrepreneurs in a community setting that will include an incubator farm, food market, events and performance venue, and a collection of eateries and work-sell spaces.

Dekalb Market endeavors to meet the following criteria in the planning and ongoing operation of the market:

Entrepreneurship: To provide an economic opportunity for (and connect the community with) independent entrepreneurs and creative people in four broad categories: Makers, Artists, Farmers, Chefs.

Quality: To carefully curate the quality, originality, and value of offerings to deliver a compelling experience for the community.

Community: Through outdoor placemaking and juxtaposition of uses to create a community gathering and marketplace – not just for products – but also for the intangibles of culture, education, senses, and ideas.

Sustainability: To consciously consider, design and disclose the various systems and resources used by the Market, vendor, product, and visitor (such as water, waste, energy, capital, knowledge, health) to reduce both reliance and impact upon distant places.
