✨ Vendor Spotlight ✨
Our Korean Community Summer Market is just 8 days away! We're thrilled to share another amazing vendor joining us: 🟡💖

K-Town Macaron makes handmade, limited-batch French macarons using only the finest ingredients. Owner and Macaron Baker, Jolynn is inspired by Korean macaron culture of using generous fillings and well-balanced flavors that are not overly sweet, yet still grounded in classical French technique. The name, K-Town Macaron, is a nod to their roots and a love for Korean macaron culture. Their belief is that macarons should taste just as good as they look and should be fun and accessible to all.

Come find K-Town Macaron on Sunday, July 19, from 12–4 PM at Arbeiter Brewing Company. This free, all-ages outdoor market celebrates the creativity and entrepreneurship of Minnesota's Korean Adoptee and Korean American community.
