The market is a treasure trove for unique souvenirs and gifts, and the vibrant atmosphere will keep your spirits high, regardless of the rain.
Take a Flirty Dance Class
Learn an all-levels dance routine to your favorite song from Bey, Britney, Bieber, and more and turn your squad into a dance team... and take that performance to the bars that evening.
Take a Cocktail-Making Class in a Speakeasy
Stay dry with this 2-hour, interactive cocktail class that combines history, jokes, techniques, recommendations, and--of course- drinking.
Stay Cozy Candle-Making w/ Martini Candle
Looking for a fun, hands-on experience that sparks creativity? Book a candle class with Martini Candle Co! Perfect for rainy days, our classes blend relaxation and artistry as you craft your own custom-scented candle—cocktail in hand.
You’ll learn candle-making tips, choose from our signature fragrances, and leave with a beautiful creation that’s uniquely yours.
Pamper Yourselves at a Spa
Rainy days are the perfect excuse for self-care. Treat yourselves to a day at a local spa where you can enjoy massages, facials, and other relaxing treatments.
Or, better yet, have the spa come to you!
Sweat it Out in A Mobile Sauna

Seek out a quaint café with a window seat, savor a hot latte, and catch up while the rain falls outside. It’s the perfect way to unwind and relish each other’s company during a bustling weekend. For the tastiest and coziest treats + cocktails, visit Carmella's (near Market Street).
