About this event
Makers Market runs free, open-air local artist street fairs beside its brick-and-mortar stores in Bay Area shopping districts, including Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, First Street Napa and Santana Row in San Jose. Each fair brings roughly 40 to 60+ juried makers selling handcrafted American-made goods, with live music from local musicians and food and drink from nearby eateries. Vendors apply once through the organizer's maker registration page and choose a date and venue; booth spaces are 10x10 under a plain white or beige canopy at Broadway Plaza and 3x8 under a single white umbrella at the Napa and Santana Row sites.
