Food and craft sellers from around Britain and Europe have set up camp on Douglas Promenade.
Twenty stalls have been erected on the walkway at Queen's Promenade as part of a special "European market" selling all manner of speciality goods and foodstuffs.
Despite the poor weather these stall holders remained cheerful and optimistic the market would be a success.
It remains open until the weekend.
