Every Saturday, from May through September, Bridge Park will be filled with vendors from across central Ohio that come to engage the community at the Dublin Market.
This year marks the seventh season of the market, continuing to offer fresh produce, sweets, retail and more with live music and pop-ups in the vibrant streets of Bridge Park. In 2018, the market began with about 40 vendors, but it has now grown to include more than 120 vendors and hosts between 6,000-7,000 visitors each week.

Remember to bring reusable bags to the market to ensure you have room for all of the amazing goodies at the market

Among the new and returning vendors coming to the Dublin Market, one staple to look for is Ridiculously Good Salsa.
Its fresh-made flavors range from Mellow and Happy Medi-YUM to Hi Heat and Spicy Ranch Pickle for individuals of all taste preferences to enjoy.
Ridiculously Good Salsa also sells cocktail mixes, taco seasoning and chili powder, in collaboration with local spice shop North Market Spices.
Dublin Market attendees have been the taste testers for many different products, including the Spicy Ranch Pickle salsa, which made its testing debut last summer. This flavor of salsa includes ingredients from Ridiculously Good Salsa and fellow Dublin Market vendor The Crazy Cucumber. It was rated in the Top 30 Pickled Food Items of 2023 list of social media influencer The Pickled Guy.
More items are anticipated to be tested at the company’s booth this year, including a “Buckeye in a Bottle” cocktail mix with vodka and bubbly options, a Sweet Heat dip, a holiday dip, mocktail mixes and more.
“RGS is a part of just about every project that I do,” says Dublin resident Deb Papesh. “Vickie says yes to all of my city and school projects and supports the Dublin community through and through. I am proud to call her my foodie and grandma friend!”
