Join us at the newly-opened Lexington Market for our holiday market and pitch showcase. 20 food and beverage small business owners from Prince George’s County, Charles County, and Baltimore City & County have completed a food & beverage business program, Cureate Courses —supported by Baltimore Community Lending, funded by a grant through University of Maryland Medical System!— to develop their business growth plans. Now, one of these companies will have the chance to win $5,000to grow their business!

You’re invited to meet and greet, and buy goods produced by graduates of the Cureate Courses Fall 2022 cohort. Tickets to attend are $5 and include a drink. All fees collected through ticket sales will go towards the community prize fund, where attendees (YOU!) can vote for one business of their choice to win the community prize fund. This is in addition to the $5,000! Your vote matters, your purchase matters. #votewithyourdollar
