Bernal Marketplace Sign-Up Form
The Bernal Business and Arts Alliance hosts a marketplace at 434 Cortland through the holidays. We want your pop-ups to bring the space to life.
The space is currently vacant, but the landlord has been extremely accommodating and is allowing BBAA to use it for events each weekend, from Friday through Sunday, until the end of the year.
The marketplace will have space for four vendors (approximately 8ft x 4ft per vendor for materials). Each space will cost $50 per day before Thanksgiving and $75 per day after Thanksgiving, with the funds used to cover rent and insurance. We also offer Friday, 10/20, free(!), and Saturday and Sunday, 10/21 and 10/22, at $30 each.
Please note the following dates are now FULL:
- Sat 11/4, Sun 11/5, Sat 11/25, Sun 11/26, Sat 12/2, Sat 12/9, Sun 12/10, Sat 12/16, Sun 12/17

The Bernal Village Marketplace in San Francisco is a vibrant, recurring pop-up event nestled in the charming Bernal Heights neighborhood.
This marketplace is known for transforming a unique space—often the historic 1924 former Bank of America building (now Baukunst) on Cortland Avenue—into a bustling community hub. It is a showcase for local artists, makers, and small businesses, featuring a curated selection of handmade goods, including:
- Art and Crafts: Ceramics, jewelry, and graphic art
- Specialty Foods: Baked goods and gourmet treats
- Retail: Clothing, candles, soap, and items for pets
A core mission of the marketplace is to support hyperlocal entrepreneurs, particularly those residing on the same blocks, by offering them an affordable venue to connect with their community and launch their emerging businesses. The intimate, indoor setting creates a personal shopping experience, allowing visitors to meet the makers behind the products. It serves as a true celebration of Bernal Heights’ creative spirit.
