Anna is one of about twelve vendors showcased as part of the "Shop Local Market" initiative new to Summerfest this year.  Grant funding through BMO EMpower's program enables these minority-owned businesses to show off their wares during the music festival.  These selected owners received up to $3500 in financial assistance.  

Another vendor we highlighted is Vicentia.  Their business model is all about sustainable clothing and highlighting women empowerment.  Each garment has a QR code with an individual story.
