2022 Makers Market Series Continues in Carlsbad Village
The Carlsbad Makers Market has been a popular event in Carlsbad Village for a few years. Indeed 2022 is the 6th year!
The Makers Market has expanded due to the popularity and now includes multiple events each year including a special Holiday Showcase during the holidays.
This popular artisan series will continue in 2022 with Makers Markets on the 1st Saturdays in March, April and June.
The Makers Market is FREE to attend and there are several dozen or so artisans participating. Of course you’ll want to bring credit cards or cash so you can shop to your heart’s content !
They have designed the Carlsbad Makers Market to be as Covid-safe as possible. It takes place outdoors on the campus of St. Michael’s By-the-Sea Episcopal Church, located at 2775 Carlsbad Boulevard in the Village. The number of booths is limited to reduce exposure, and attendees will have room for social distancing. Please wear your masks.
You can expect that all recommended CDC and County health guidelines and protocols will be encouraged for everyone (e.g., staff, vendors, volunteers and attendees). You might consider bringing your own sanitizer.
The Makers Market Crafter Showcase is a terrific shopping opportunity (think Mother’s and Father’s Days, birthdays, Easter, weddings), with self-designed and handcrafted items from dozens of local and regional artisans.
The vendors are selected by a jury, so you can expect high quality and creativity. [photo at right is from a different art event in the Village]
Crafts are designed and hand-made by the artisans, rather than being factory-production. That, of course, means plenty of unique and one-of-a-kind items.
As with other arts and crafts events that have taken place in Carlsbad Village, you’ll find works of art in a range of media – leatherwork, beading, jewelry, 3D functional art, re-purposed materials, fabric creations, linen restoration, glass, graphic design apparel, and more.
You can also have fun talking with vendors in person, asking questions, and learning about what inspired their creations!
There will be live music to enjoy, and you’ll find plenty of local eateries close by. I bet you are already know great places to eat in our Village.
If by chance you don’t find the right gifts at the Makers Market, or even if you do, don’t worry. There are plenty of retailers in Carlsbad Village just steps away to explore.
The 2022 Makers Market dates are March 5th, April 2nd and June 3rd, from 9 am until 4 pm. No event is being held in May.
