Collins Park Sunday Market

Collins Park Sunday Market comes with ties to the South Beach Chamber Ensemble through The Market Company’s broader community collaborations, placing this Sunday market inside a civic and cultural network that reaches beyond a simple shopping stop. The market is held at Collins Avenue and 22nd Street in Miami Beach, a setting that puts it near the park-and-museum district rather than in a strip-mall routine. Its operator grew out of Miami Beach market work that began when Claire started selling herb vinegars at the Lincoln Road Partnership Market in 1995, then went on to found The Market Company in 1997. That history gives this market a clear local lineage inside Miami Beach’s long-running open-air market culture.

Why it matters locally

Claire Tomlin’s market work in Miami Beach stretches back to the mid-1990s, when she began as a vendor at the Lincoln Road Partnership Market before founding The Market Company in 1997. That origin matters here because Collins Park Sunday Market is part of the same organization she built after Miami Beach city management invited her to bring a market back to life through the Lincoln Road Farmers Market.

The people behind the market are tied to local institutions as well. Don Tomlin serves as treasurer of the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation and has also been involved with a Miami Beach Blue Ribbon Panel. Claire’s work has included roles connected to the nearby Miami Beach Botanical Garden, and her background combines horticulture, event management, and community enrichment. Evani Maass oversees vendor coordination, while assistant market manager Malgorzata Godlewska is the named manager for this market.

What you'll find there

This market is described as a Sunday gathering with offerings from multiple vendors, but the operator materials emphasize the people and programs behind the market more than a published stall roster. What stands out here is the organization’s market legacy in Miami Beach and the founder’s roots as a specialty-food seller.

• -Claire began by selling herb vinegars at the Lincoln Road Partnership Market in Miami Beach.

The Market Company also presents cultural programming alongside its market work, including Japan Week and Latin Week.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at Collins Park Sunday Market, a rule that can change plans before you leave home. The market is set at Collins Avenue and 22nd Street in Miami Beach. Restrooms are not listed as available, and payment methods are not clearly stated, so this is not the kind of market where you should assume every convenience will be on hand.

The named contact for market operations is assistant market manager Malgorzata Godlewska, and vendor coordination within The Market Company is handled by Evani Maass. One visitor described the surrounding park area as very walkable and noted a free South Beach trolley nearby, while another mentioned walking to the Bass Museum of Art from the area. Those nearby landmarks can help frame the visit, especially if you are pairing the market with a broader Sunday outing in this part of Miami Beach.
