For Main Street programs, chambers and downtown groups

Run your town's pop-up calendar, free

OpenSpot Local matches shops and breweries that have a patio, lot or sidewalk with food trucks, carts, bakers and makers. Every booked day goes on one public calendar for your town.

What your group gets

• The lineup on your website with one line of code. It updates on its own.
• A weekly email for residents. Thursday mornings, with the weekend's pop-ups.
• Weekly slow-night spots. Members can open one, like "every Tuesday, 5 to 8 PM", in one step.
• Vendor records. See each vendor's permit, insurance and show-up record before saying yes.
• Small vendors. They can join with just a table or tent.

What it costs

Nothing. The pilot is free for hosts, vendors and partners. We don't take a cut and we don't handle payments. If a host charges a fee, the host and the vendor settle it directly.

How to start

1. Email [email protected] with your group's name and a contact.
2. Send your members to openspotlocal.com to list their space. Each listing takes about five minutes.
3. Paste the lineup onto your website:
