Rainier Spring Bazaar returns April 18

The Rainier Spring Bazaar is returning on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rainier Riverfront Center. The Bazaar debuted in 2025 and featured 18 Rainier-based businesses with wares that ranged from baked goods, homemade jewelry, handmade soaps, metal sculptures, paintings and art, wood carved items and quilts.

Last year's event was attended by a few hundred people at the "Big Green" building located behind City Hall. This year's event has changed locations to expand space offerings and include additional vendors.

The Rainier Chamber of Commerce is the main sponsor and organizer of the event and has issued a call for vendor sign-ups with information on the Rainier Chamber Facebook page. Vendors must be a Rainier resident, and the cost to participate is $25 per six-foot table space. There are approximately 24 vendor spaces open with a number vendor spots already reserved.

Anyone interested in joining the event as a vendor is encouraged to sign-up and submit information and payment by Mar. 31 at the latest.
