Festival Marketplace (c. late 1970s-mid 1980s)
Festival marketplace was an aesthetic common in retail locations during the late 1970s through the end of the '80s. It's known for its warm colors and Midwestern feel, and was seen in malls, grocery stores, and other shopping outlets. It can still be seen in more "outdated" areas.
This aesthetic reminds me of my grandparent's old house. They use to reuse old jam jars and stuff to save money. We also had an Albertson's near my home that was really outdated and had this aesthetic, though it was tired and cheesy looking. I hated it as a kid but now, it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
