WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA – Handcrafted jewelry, candles and local honey are headed to a familiar Walnut Creek shopping street this weekend, as Makers Market returns to Broadway Plaza.
The free outdoor market is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vendors will set up along Broadway Plaza Street between Nordstrom and Macy’s, according to Broadway Plaza’s event announcement.
For anyone looking for an easy weekend outing, the lineup pairs browsing for handmade goods with live music and nearby places to grab lunch.
Organizers advertise a mix of local makers and artists selling jewelry, body-care products, home goods, clothing, glass, candles and honey. Kids and pets are welcome, making it an option for families looking to spend part of Saturday outside.
The event is organized by Makers Market, the Bay Area business founded by Suzy Ekman. Its focus is American craftsmanship, with products that combine traditional influences and contemporary design.
On its website, the company says it vets merchandise for design and durability, along with qualities such as organic materials, sustainability or ethical production. The business connects shoppers with makers through its stores, online shop and outdoor markets.
Visitors can also stop inside the Makers Market shop at Broadway Plaza, which the event announcement says carries handcrafted goods from more than 100 additional makers.
If this Saturday is already booked, there are more opportunities coming. Broadway Plaza’s events calendar lists additional Makers Market dates on October 24, November 28 and December 19, each from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
