Fall in Love with Local: Our First-Ever Valentine’s Day Market ❤️

We’re head-over-heels excited to announce our very first Valentine’s Day Market—and it’s happening on Saturday, February 14th!

Packed with cozy vibes, creative energy, and up to 8 incredible local artisans. But this time, we’re turning up the romance!

Whether you’re hunting for that perfect last-minute gift or looking for a fun and unexpected Valentine’s Day date, this market has you covered. Picture this: you and your sweetheart split up, shop the aisles separately, and surprise each other with something handmade and heartfelt. Or wander together, sip something warm, and pick out your favorite finds side by side. Either way, it’s a love story waiting to happen.

From wood mosaics and jewelry to candles, art, and other treasures, you’ll find thoughtful gifts that go way beyond the usual flowers and chocolates (though we support those too).

Kid-Preneur Spring Market — Saturday, April 18th (Next Season’s Star Makers!)

Our last Kid-Preneur Market was an absolute delight—tiny CEOs, big ideas, and the kind of hustle that would make a Shark Tank judge cry happy tears. So many kids asked, “When can I do it too?” that we’re making it a thing: a Kid-Preneur Market once every season. First up: Spring Edition on Saturday, April 18th.

If your young maker has a head full of ideas (and a bedroom full of supplies), this is their moment. Did they get hobby kits, art sets, or craft materials for Christmas? Perfect. Mid-Winter break is the ideal time to turn that fresh stash into a mini product line—stickers, jewelry, slime, prints, keychains, wood crafts, knitwear, zines, you name it. We’ll bring the welcoming vibe and the cheering section. Your kid brings the creativity.
