Dominica: The National Development Foundation of Dominica is all set to host the annual D’marketplace on Friday, October 4, 2024, starting at 9 am at 9 Great Marlborough Street.

While inviting everyone to the D’marketplace, the NDFD outlined, “Come out and support our local vendors, enjoy delicious food, and find unique items to celebrate the season in style. We can’t wait to see you there!”
