Saturday, Dec. 7, noon to 5 p.m., 68 Morning St., 25+ vendors, food trucks, holiday cheer

PORTSMOUTH—Holiday shopping is heating up, and the creative membership of the Port City Makerspace on the West End and their collaborators invite you to their first WINTER MARKET on Saturday, Dec. 7 from noon to 5 p.m. It not-so coincidentally coincides with the longstanding staple of the Seacoast arts scene, The Button Factory Open Studios and the ardent new addition of the 3rd Annual West End Holiday Shop Crawl. Make a day of it, ending with the Illuminated Holiday Parade & Tree Lighting downtown!

Wend your way among the tables located in the spruced up shop areas to view and purchase handmade wares to include metal sculptures; leather goods; picture frames; nutcrackers; embroidered patches; cutting boards; wooden bowls; tote bags; hand and bath towels; stickers; magnets; ornaments; ceramics; pottery; jewelry; art prints and a few serendipitous surprises!

Pop outside to purchase a sweet treat from Clyde’s Cupcakes and a savory snack from MrSippy BBQ.

Relax to our curated holiday playlist, and ask Board Members, shop managers and makers questions as they welcome you to our space–your space– the Port City Makerspace!

While our vendor spots are full, for more information about the Winter Market and the Makerspace, call General Manager Alex at (603) 988-5798 or email Alex@PortCityMakerspace.com.
