Shopping season is upon us, and the holiday markets are coming fast and furious.
We’ve put together a selection of markets, both near and far, taking place this weekend and for the rest of November, where you can support local artists and artisans and find something truly unique, for gift-giving or for keeping.
Most of these are alternative-oriented, but we’ve included some where you will be able to find more mainstream stuff for your friends and fam.
First, obviously, come visit us tomorrow, because we’ve got 40+ amazing vendors of cool, creative and creepy stuff.
