 “We want this show to be an experience, a haven of cool and unusual finds. It will be a place where shoppers connect directly with the designer, maker or collector of the products.  Each market experience will be different, it will have a changing selection of both merchandise and food”, stated, co-founders, Angie and Charles Ansanelli. “We look to include local entertainment and special events.  Customers attending the Treasure Island MarketPlace will not only walk away with great treasures but also with memories of their finds to share for years to come.”

Treasure Island itself is world renowned and has played a significant role in history. The island was man made in 1937 making it San Francisco’s 3rd great project just behind the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges.  The island hosted the World’s Faire in 1939.  After the World’s Faire the island was set to become San Francisco’s Municipal Airport but ended up being seized by the Navy and played a pivotal role in WWII. Treasure Island is centrally located in the heart of the Bay Area and boasts some of the most spectacular views of the city.
