Palmerton, PA – The Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC), in proud partnership with the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, is excited to announce the official ribbon cutting for the Palmerton Public Market, one of Carbon County’s most anticipated new community destinations. The celebration will take place on Friday, January 23, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, with the official ribbon cutting at 12:30 PM.
After months of anticipation, the Palmerton Public Market has transformed the former Shea’s Hardware space in downtown Palmerton into a vibrant hub for local commerce and small-business spirit. The market brings together more than a dozen local vendors and artisans under one roof, offering fresh farm goods, handcrafted products, specialty foods, wine, coffee, and more.
Vendors include longtime favorites like AK Farms LLC and Sleepy Cat Urban Winery, along with unique offerings from River Rock Bean + Brew Mobile Bar, S & E Natural Soaps, and KupKake Kandi, showcasing the best of local creativity and entrepreneurship. During the ribbon cutting celebration, vendors will be open for business, with pop-up vendors on site, offering samples, raffle opportunities, and items for purchase, giving attendees a full experience of the market’s offerings.
“The Palmerton Public Market is more than a place to shop—it’s a gathering spot where neighbors connect, local businesses thrive, and visitors can experience the creativity and talent of our community,” said Kylie Adams-Weiss, Senior Vice President, Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corporation. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone to see this new downtown destination in action and celebrate the entrepreneurs who make it possible.”
Community members, local leaders, and supporters are invited to join the celebration, meet market vendors, tour the space, and enjoy the festivities.
