Buy Amazing Handmade Gifts From Local Artisans At This City-Spanning Lafayette Event

Lafayette, CA – Need the perfect gift, but don’t want to order your 2,000th Amazon item or drive into the City to shop?

The Lafayette Artisan Walk is set to take place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., bringing together local artists and retailers for a collaborative community shopping event.

Organized by the Lafayette Chamber’s Retail Sub-Committee, the event will showcase handcrafted goods and artisan creations across more than two dozen Lafayette businesses. The walk, scheduled the day before Mother’s Day, is timed perfectly for shoppers looking for unique gifts for spring occasions including Mother’s Day, graduations, and Father’s Day.

  • Amphora Lafayette – featuring homemade soaps, olive wood, Napa jams and spices
