About WKND · Built by vendors, for community
More face time.
Less screen time.
We are building a place for local businesses, organizers, friends, and neighbors to find each other—and gather in real life.
Our story
A community built around showing up.
We love the analog things: meeting your neighbors, finding something made with care, and being there together.
We’re Brian and Kris. Before WKND, we were corporate professionals. Then we became vendors ourselves—and saw how much heart goes into every small business, and how much better the experience could be when vendors have a community behind them.
We started WKND more than five years ago to help that community grow and thrive through a dedicated, safety-minded platform. What began with our own experience as vendors is about something bigger: helping local businesses, organizers, friends, and neighbors find each other.
Technology is how we help. Getting people together in real life is why we’re here.

Community, in person.
More gatherings, real conversations, and reasons to get out together.
Local is personal.
Behind every booth is a person with a passion. We want those businesses to thrive.
Trust matters.
We’re building a dedicated space where vendors and organizers can connect with safety in mind.
What we’re here to do
Make local feel a little more connected.
WKND gives eventgoers a place to discover, vendors a dependable introduction, and organizers a thoughtful way to bring the right people together.
