The Jabali Market is a vibrant, grassroots community initiative celebrating local creativity, culture, and commerce hosted by DivaErykah of Black + Planted. Rooted in community values and Afrocentric heritage, we provide a platform for emerging vendors, artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work, build networks, and connect with audiences that value authenticity and community-driven experiences.
Since its inception, Jabali Market has grown into more than just a shopping destination β it's a cultural hub where wellness,education, community, and entrepreneurship intersect. With each event, we draw a diverse, engaged crowd eager to support small businesses, participate in our Open Mic, love our, "On the Green" Side Chats, Resident DJ & wellness, demonstrations & more. Our market season continues to celebrate Juneteeth with our "Juneteenth Jubilee Fest" on June 13, 2026 at Maplewood Mall from 11 am - 3 pm.
Jabali means "rock" or "stronghold" in Swahili β a symbol of strength, resilience, and community. If you believe in uplifting grassroots voices and want to be part of something authentic and powerful, then this is your opportunity. Volunteer with us!
Seeing you THIS season ensures we can rock thru NEXT season!
