Sunset Marketplace

Sunset Marketplace comes from the same organization Claire Tomlin built after Miami Beach City management invited her to revive a market in 1997, a turning point that led to The Market Company’s wider South Florida work. In South Miami, the market is set at 5701 SW 72nd Street, giving it a neighborhood address tied to a team with long experience in market operations and vendor coordination. The Market Company’s background spans city halls, colleges, hospitals, and indoor regional malls across South Florida, which gives Sunset Marketplace a clear place within a broader local market network rather than as a one-off event.

Why it matters locally

Claire Tomlin’s market work in South Florida reaches back to her years as a vendor selling herb vinegars in Miami Beach before she founded The Market Company in 1997. That origin matters here because Sunset Marketplace is run by an organization shaped by market vending, event management, and horticultural work rather than by a generic event promoter.

The current team adds that continuity. Evani Maass oversees administrative processes, vendor coordination, and financial management as Vice President and Treasurer, while Malgorzata Godlewska serves as Assistant Market Manager. The Market Company also describes its work as extending across South Florida through markets in places including indoor regional malls, hospitals, colleges, and city halls, tying Sunset Marketplace to a regional pattern of recurring public-market operations.

What you'll find there

Sunset Marketplace is presented through the experience of the team behind it more than through a posted vendor roster, so what stands out here is the organization’s market lineage and the kinds of programming it has produced across South Florida. That makes this page more useful for understanding the operator and its track record than for planning around named farm stands.

• -Claire Tomlin began as a vendor selling herb vinegars at the Lincoln Road Partnership Market.

The same organization also highlights broader public programming in its portfolio, including Japan Week and Latin Week, alongside established markets such as the Lincoln Road Farmers Market and Upper Eastside Green Market.
