Markets for Makers is Back in Miami: Discover Local Artisans!
21 OCT, 2024
Markets for Makers is back, so get ready, Miami! The Miami Market for Makers returns to the Design District’s Jungle Plaza on October 26-27, 2024. Your weekend plans are set—look forward to a day of shopping and supporting local talent as you celebrate independent artisans at this popular pop-up. Sip and shop for one-of-a-kind items you won’t find on Amazon.
What to Expect
It’s like an IRL Etsy, offering a tasteful coastal vibe. Markets for Makers organizes shopping events in various cities to connect carefully chosen small businesses with eager shoppers. Stop by this Saturday and Sunday from 12-6 PM to browse this thoughtfully curated outdoor Miami fall market, where over 100 South Florida makers will showcase their craftsmanship. Expect a wide range of products, from fashion and home decor to art, gourmet treats, design, and pet essentials.
Artisan Highlights
You might discover community-based brands or storefronts you didn’t know existed. Last year, I picked up handmade stationery from a local artist, a gorgeous gold cuff, and a beautifully handwoven basket. The basket and an exquisite blanket I purchased came from an amazing interior design store I hadn’t known about before. After chatting with the owners, I found a new favorite destination in Miami for upscale gifts!
Tickets and Entry
Your Miami-Markets for Makers ticket includes entry to this exclusive locals-only market at the open-air Jungle Plaza. Shop unique products and snap Instagram-worthy pics at the photo walls. Get creative at the DIY station and claim a free market tote—perfect for carrying all your new finds. There will also be a few food trucks on-site if you want to refuel or grab a drink.
Plan ahead and secure tickets for $8 online or $15 at the door (if time slots aren’t sold out). With timed entry, arrive during your selected slot and stay as long as you’d like! Children under 12 and friendly pets are welcome for free. For a more lofty experience, opt for a VIP ticket at $15 or $20 (online only), which includes weekend-long access, a sneak peek before the crowds, priority entry, and an upgraded market tote.
Parking and Accessibility
Parking is available throughout the Design District, with City View and Palm Court garages being the closest to Jungle Plaza.
Explore the Miami Design District
After Markets for Makers, extend your day in the vibrant Miami Design District. With striking architecture (don’t miss Palm Court), this luxurious shopping haven is a pleasure to explore. It’s filled with art galleries, high-end boutiques, and acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants. Need a break? Recapture your youth on the chicest swing-set you’ve ever seen. (Why is this quirky installation here? Because it’s Miami!)
Don’t miss the chance to support local artisans and uncover unique treasures at the Miami Market for Makers. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
