For the first time in Lorain, this one-of-a-kind outdoor shopping experience filled the festival grounds with a variety of merchandise and food vendors. After spending 14 years in Avon Lake, Ohio, a recent partnership between Lorain Port Authority and the nonprofit Girls Give Back made this move to The International City possible. In addition to navigating a new site, organizer Erin Stack and her crew were forced to switch gears earlier this year when the coronavirus pandemic shut down the state and added a plethora of new regulations for them to consider. Stack said due to the uncertainty, planning and promoting wasn't able to go full force until about six weeks out from the event.
