For the Geeky, Alternative, and Open Minded
Markets and events that are for those open minded, geeky, and or alternative humans who are looking for something that suites their lifestyle.
Owner – Alycia Wiens
I’m Alycia and I am the sole owner and operator of Geeky Markets & Events Inc. I have now been running these markets for about 4 years. They started off as friends putting on a small market in hopes of being able to make some sales before the larger Expos re-opened after Covid, to more than 5 markets in a year and slowly growing. As I am a vendor myself with a separate small business, I understand both sides of the market business and do my best to ensure vendors are being fairly charged, as well as good marketing completed every market. I learn and grow and look forward to every market I put on!
