✨ Vendor Spotlights ✨
Our Chuseok Festival is just 7 days away! We’re thrilled to welcome two more wonderful vendors to the celebration: @arabeecollective and @munee_official !

💄 Ara Bee Collective
Rooted in representation and inclusivity, Ara Bee Collective is an AAPI-owned beauty and creative collective led by Laura, a half-Korean American adoptee. Their diverse team creates personalized, on-location hair and makeup for multicultural weddings and special events, celebrating every love story. Based in Minneapolis with a new San Diego expansion, Ara Bee Collective is a five-time recipient of The Knot Best of Weddings award.

🇰🇷 Munee
Munee (a Korean word for ‘pattern’) Studio creates and introduces handcrafted home design products inspired by traditional Korean patterns, infused with a modern touch in an era of mass production. Eun-Kyung's goal is for Munee's customers to gain a deep appreciation for the rich traditions and culture of Korea. After cutting the patterns with modern laser-cutting techniques, she handcrafts wooden products, which are then meticulously assembled using traditional methods such as sanding, varnishing, joining, and installing accessories. Munee's ultimate objective is to create a platform that not only celebrates Korean arts but also promotes diversity within the Minnesota community and beyond.

📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
⏰ 4:00–10:00 PM (market closes at 8 PM)
📍 1700 NE 2nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55413
🎉 Free & open to the public

Come celebrate Chuseok with us, support local artists and makers, and enjoy an evening of Korean culture, creativity, and community! 🇰🇷❤️

Abby and David’s day started with everyone standing and applauding (hooting and hollering) as Abby walked down the aisle with her dad, and ended with David being lifted on his friend’s shoulders as they danced the night away 🕺🏻🪩

They were showered with the love that you know they award everyone else in their lives on a daily basis 💕 It was so easy to celebrate two people who are so genuine and deserving of love.

cheers to the newlyweds!! 🥂
