Local Artist Street Fair at Santana Row

The Makers Market is a recurring event, taking place on the second Saturday of every month, creating a regular opportunity for the community to engage with and support local artisans. The fair features over 60 local makers, offering a diverse range of handmade goods. Shoppers can expect to find a wide variety of items, including jewelry, ceramics, woodwork, apparel, leather goods, glass art, and candles. The event is a "Sip & Stroll," allowing attendees to enjoy beverages from surrounding eateries while they browse. The market is organized by Makers Market, a company founded in 2014 with a mission to preserve and promote American-made goods. They aim to rebuild the legacy of American craftsmanship by supporting local artists and economies. In addition to the outdoor street fair, Makers Market operates a brick-and-mortar store at Santana Row. This permanent location showcases products from over 100 American makers, providing a year-round venue for these artisans. The event is designed to be family and pet-friendly, often featuring live music from local musicians to enhance the atmosphere. This creates a vibrant community gathering space beyond just a shopping experience. Santana Row itself is an upscale outdoor shopping district in San Jose, known for hosting a variety of community events. Its setting provides a high-traffic, festive environment for the artist fair.
