Our Strategic Mission

The Makers Market isn’t just a market; it’s a strategy to increase the vibrancy of Mountain View. By lowering the barriers to participate in this Makers Market we are:

• Supporting Local Entrepreneurs (EVS Action 3.2): Directly investing in the local creative economy.

• Encouraging Flexible Activation (EVS Action 1C.3): Using city streets as a testing ground for micro-businesses.

• Branding Mountain View as a Destination (EVS Action 2A.4): Creating a unique Friday night experience for residents and visitors.
