The WOW marketplace was a home to a range of carefully selected stalls providing information, raising awareness, showcasing work, and selling their goods. Visitors could access information, do some shopping, participate in activities, discover creative products, network with others and enjoy the general feel of the festival. 

Stalls were set up in the marketplace. Some of the stalls were not-for-profit ventures who used the stall space to provide information and conduct workshops to raise awareness about their cause.
