This year, Downtown D&D grows wiser — and stronger together. Adventurers will complete five main quest stops, each one shaping the fate of the realm (there are plenty of addional stops you can join in if your super fast). But the streets hold more than just required trials. Along the way, heroes may encounter bonus tasks, roaming challenges, marketplace curiosities, tavern trials, and unexpected moments of magic waiting to be discovered. Between quests, the Cauldron & Cloak Marketplace awakens in full festival splendor — artisans, relics, and revelry spilling onto Main Street like a page from a living storybook. And here is the secret: this quest is a collective battle. Every group’s victories and setbacks feed into a shared pool of strength, chipping away at the Ashen Cloak’s power. No single party decides the outcome — the city does. Less rushing. More wandering. More wonder. At 3:00 PM, the Conclave ignites — and the flame rises as one.

🕯️ Cauldron & Cloak Marketplace
Part of Downtown D&D 2026: The Gathering Flame – The Conclave Ignites
On the day the Conclave gathers, Main Street transforms into a living fantasy marketplace.
The Cauldron & Cloak Marketplace will run 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM, right in the heart of downtown Martinez. While Downtown D&D is a paid, immersive city-wide adventure with 350+ participants, the marketplace itself will be completely open to the public — inviting shoppers, families, and festival-goers to step into the magic.
We’re seeking vendors offering:
-
Fantasy & medieval-inspired goods
-
Artisan crafts & handmade wares
-
Vintage curiosities
-
Apothecary, herbal, or mystical-themed items
-
Art, jewelry, candles, textiles, and unique finds
Booth Fee: $99
Event Hours: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Vendor Setup: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Location: Main Street, Downtown Martinez
This is your opportunity to vend during one of Martinez’s most immersive and highly attended events of the year. With hundreds of players already in costume and a steady flow of public foot traffic, the Cauldron & Cloak Marketplace becomes the beating heart of the day’s festival atmosphere.
Bring your wares. Raise your banners.
When the Conclave ignites… the marketplace awakens.
