From Passion to Play:
A Marketplace That Matters
Welcome to the Illuminate Play Market!
The Illuminate Play Market is more than just a marketplace – it’s a gathering space for those who believe in the power and importance of play. We welcome vendors, organizations, and advocates who promote play through products, services, and initiatives that support joyful, meaningful experiences for children and the adults who care for them. Whether you’re offering hands-on materials, educational resources, community programs, or advocacy work, this is your opportunity to connect, share, and shine in a community that celebrates play as essential to learning and life.
