This year’s marketplace was a tremendous success! Our vendors were enthusiastic, achieved strong sales, gained valuable exposure, and proudly represented their communities.

This year’s event yielded numerous success stories that were both inspiring and encouraging:

• Our vendors received invitations to remain at K-Days beyond their designated time due to the exceptional quality of their products and sales performance.
• Many entrepreneurs established meaningful networking opportunities and received invitations to local farmers’ markets and cultural festivals.
• After valuable customer feedback and exposure, many felt motivated to rebrand, refresh displays, and expand for future events.

Beyond business success, this experience reminded us that empowering newcomer entrepreneurs goes far beyond economic growth, it’s about embracing diversity, fostering innovation, and creating meaningful community connections.
