The tragedy
has shaken
us deeply.
As a fellow market community, our hearts are heavy for everyone affected. Vendors, organizers, families, and attendees—we see you, we grieve with you, and we stand with you.
Markets are meant to be places of joy, connection, and culture. No one should ever fear for their safety while sharing their passion and hard work with the world.
This tragedy feels even closer to home knowing that one of the vendors from our most recent market had considered attending the event. We are incredibly grateful they are safe, and we hold space for those who were not as fortunate.
We are keeping all those impacted in our thoughts and prayers. May healing and peace reach everyone involved.
With heartfelt sympathy,

A Stylish Success: Boutique & Handcraft Market at IKEA Richmond
Last Saturday, IKEA Richmond came alive with style, creativity, and community spirit during our Boutique & Handcraft Market. This special event highlighted an exciting mix of local vendors, with a strong focus on vintage clothing, handcrafted jewelry and a variety of unique handmade goods.
Shoppers had the chance to explore one-of-a-kind treasures—from timeless fashion pieces and eye-catching accessories to thoughtfully crafted home items. The market buzzed with creativity and connection, as guests engaged directly with talented local makers and discovered items that can’t be found anywhere else.
We’re so thankful to all the incredible vendors who brought their passion and craftsmanship to the market, and to every visitor who came out to support small businesses. Your enthusiasm made the day truly memorable.
