NoMa Bid Pride Market Brings Pride to Farmer’s Market
Partnering with NoMa Bid, we invited several vendors to celebrate Pride month in the NoMa Bid Farmer’s Market.

In the NoMa Bid Area, adjacent to the neighborhood’s popular farmer’s market, Wild Side Media curated an adjacent market to celebrate Pride Month and give a small preview of our Walk on the Wild Side Pride Party. With music provided by Songbyrd Music House and numerous vendors carrying earrings, vinyl records and vintage clothing, the afternoon market brought LGBTQ+ businesses and customers into the world of farm-fresh produce.
The NoMa Bid Farmer’s Market has attracted residents of the NoMa neighborhood since its creation three seasons ago. The vibrant neighborhood and the reflectively diverse market bring homemade pastries and fresh produce to residents, something uncommon for urban areas.
As a part of promoting the Walk on the Wild Side Pride Party, Wild Side Media curated a mini Pride Market, a preview of what was to come in our Union Market block party. The market was free to enter, with fully stocked vendors, energetic music and lawn games like cornhole. Thanks to our collaboration with NoMa Bid, Pride was celebrated just across from the highly popular farmer’s market.
