• What is 409 Day?

  409 Day is a day to celebrate community, togetherness, and all things 409.  A one-day festival designed to bring neighbors together, showcase local talent, highlight area small businesses and entrepreneurs, flaunt regional attractions, and more!  The entire area is invited to attend, whether you’re from the 409 or beyond!

  Follow 409 Day Facebook | Instagram for more details and see the fun and surprises that await!

  -How much does it cost?

  Admission is free!  There will also be a large selection of free crafts and activities provided by local businesses and organizations.  However, we will also have a large, diverse vendor market and food trucks, so you’ll only need to pay for what you would like to eat and what you would like to take home!

  -What food trucks will be there?

  

  Broke Boyz, Gemma’s Hoagies, Home Plate, Manny’s Melting Pot, and Tacos El Primo will all be on deck serving up delicious food!  Mabel’s, La Real Michoacana, Oz Cafe, and The Sassy Squeeze will also be on hand for yummy drinks & treats. And don’t forget about the variety of home bakers selling their wares in the vendor market.  Treat yo self!

  *Pro tip: bring both cash and card along due to different vendors accepting certain payment methods.

  -How many vendors do you have?

  

  

  We have over 80 confirmed vendor and booth participants!  It’s an incredible mix of small businesses promoting their products, as well as service-based organizations and nonprofits who have all committed to providing a free craft or activity in addition to passing out their information to the public.  Come out and support them all!
