Hi Geek.
The Geek and Grub Market™ was founded in Raleigh, North Carolina in April of 2022. We're a fun, free and family-friendly vendor market that celebrates all things GEEK.
Geek & Grub Market Founder & Event Coordinator
My name is Erin Dunphy Dean
Erin Dunphy Dean is no stranger to the world of event planning, having planned/hosted over 500+ events in the Triangle since 2009. Before her event planning days she worked in the legal and television industries. (Fun Fact: She once got to hold cue cards for Matt Damon.) She is a wife and mother to a son and three furbabies. She created the Geek and Grub Market during the age of Covid to give like minded geeks like her a safe, fun place to sell their geeky goods!
During the week you'll find this jill-of-all-trades working behind the scenes on preparations for an upcoming Geek and Grub Market and at events you'll find her on site, as the Event Coordinator.
Geek Fact: Erin is a huge fan of the X-Files and dyed her hair red in middle school because of Dana Scully.
