BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Inspired by the open-air markets of Europe, a multi-merchant shopping experience – featuring a unique collection of more than 100 makers, artists, vintage curators and collectors alongside specialty food vendors – is coming to Bethlehem next month.
Belleville Market has announced the return of the Belleville Street Faire, taking place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 6, at ArtsQuest’s SteelStacks campus in south Bethlehem.

The rain-or-shine event celebrates small business, craftsmanship and community. Admission and parking are both free.
Inspired by the energy and discovery of European street markets, the Belleville Street Faire transforms the grounds beneath the iconic SteelStacks into a “curated marketplace where guests can spend the day discovering handmade goods, vintage finds, art, home décor, apparel, jewelry, specialty foods and more,” according to a news release.
“We created the Street Faire to take what people love about Belleville — discovering something unexpected, supporting independent businesses and simply enjoying being together — and bring it outdoors on a much bigger scale,” said Derrick Clark, co-founder of Belleville Market.
“There’s something special about seeing so many creative small businesses together in one place, and SteelStacks gives us an incredible setting to do it,” added Warren Clark, co-founder of Belleville.
The Clarks, who founded home furnishings retailer Domaci as an e-commerce company in 2015, opened Belleville Market – a curated neighborhood department store in Easton, PA offering home décor, gifts, apothecary items, apparel and everyday essentials from a variety of merchants – in 2023 at 20 S. Third St. in downtown Easton.
Belleville brings independent merchants, makers and thoughtfully selected brands together under one roof at its approximately 10,000-square-foot Easton marketplace.
