SARATOGA SPRINGS — Together with Palette, Sahm Reyes, a well-known local chef, founder of Caffeine-Queens LLC, and patent holder for the coffee brewer bottle, announces the launch of The Saratoga Night Market.
The Saratoga Night Market began quietly this winter, and will officially launch to the public in April. The focus is on female developed products and businesses. The Night Market is organized by Sahm Reyes, an inventor and entrepreneur. The Night Market event space is hosted at Palette Saratoga.
Starting in April, the Night Market will be open to the public on scheduled Friday and Saturday nights. Each market features a selection of locally based female makers, creators and business owners selling their products.
The market is located in The Palette Saratoga co-working space in the lower level of The Collamer Building, at 480 Broadway. The Night Market will be open to the public the following April dates; April 21, April 22, April 28 and April 29. The Night Market invites everyone taking a stroll up Broadway to pop in.
Each market will vary, with rotating vendors. Tourists, visitors and locals are encouraged to stop by and check out what is for sale. At a recent market, the vendors and products included a children’s book author, a fiber artist, candle makers, jewelry designers, artists, inventors, and a woodcrafter. Scheduled market sellers for April include; authors, makers, designers, artists and inventors.
Sahm Reyes said, “I am excited to be able to offer the Saratoga community and the greater Capital Region area access to these fantastic female entrepreneurs. Many of the local creators and makers at the Night Market are in start-up mode. As a recently launched full-time entrepreneur, myself, I know how hard it is to find local space to sell my products. I wanted to find somewhere around here that is affordable and safe. That is why I partnered with Palette in Saratoga. The Broadway location is beautiful and I am excited to share the launch of the Night Market with everyone. I hope to see a lot of people coming out to support us.”
Sahm is a chef who became a full-time entrepreneur focusing on her business, Caffeine-Queens, in 2023. She is an active member of the Palette Community. Palette membership includes 24/7 access to co-working spaces and support for business people who want to connect with other like minded individuals and be productive in a fun, inviting, and supportive environment.
Sahm spends a lot of time traveling to trade shows and expos and doing research for her growing business.
When Sahm is back in Saratoga, she enjoys meeting solo-preneurs, business owners and connecting with other members who are working out of Palette. That is how the Night Market was born, a simple conversation with other small business owners.
Marcella Hammer, COO of Palette added, “At Palette, we are here to support women-led small businesses, while helping to build community & commerce. We are hopeful for lots of foot traffic when the weather gets warmer, because Sahm has found lots of interested female creators and makers who are excited to be able to sell their products locally.”
Catherine Hover, Palette Founder and Owner of Saratoga Paint and Sip, said, “This is why I started Palette, I realized that as a Mom and business owner, I craved a place to go where I had the support of other women, who were trying to do ‘all the things’ like me. I am so excited to support Sahm and all the amazing members of Palette who are doing great things in our community and beyond. I was lucky to attend a March Night Market, and there was an impressive group of vendors and the space was buzzing with shoppers coming in from the street to check out what was going on. The energy of a Night Market is great.”
