Grab a table in the marketplace and showcase your business to the masses!

Email amanda.lindelow@westword.com and mention you’re a friend of Fashion Denver for a discounted rate on a spot in the marketplace. (The market is usually $750.00 but for Fashion Denver friends it’s $500.00).

This will surely be a fantastic event!
