Craft Riot Call for Sponsors

Just in time for the holidays, EtsyAustin Craft Riot brings you A Handmade Revolution in Shopping! This 2-day family-friendly event is the perfect place to find locally handmade and unique holiday gifts. Indulge in fabulous shopping from over 40 local artisans while enjoying your favorite cocktails and other refreshments. Get creative in our fun wintery photobooth filled with props. Admission is free and the first 25 guests will receive EtsyAustin Craft Riot gift bags filled with goodies each day.

The EtsyAustin Street Team is a collaboration of over 100 local artists, crafters and entrepreneurs who sell their goods on Etsy.com. Now more than ever, people all over the world are embracing the trend of buying handmade, vintage and recycled products. Sustainability is becoming ideal in the economic and environmental crises facing us today. When you buy handmade, you’re getting something made by a real person, not a machine. A purchase from a small-scale independent craftsperson cuts out the pollution and useless waste that is created by mass production. Additionally, buying from local crafters supports our local economy and helps "Keep Austin Weird!"

Saturday, November 20th, 11am-6pm
Sunday, November 21st, 11am-6pm
@ The Marchesa, located at 6406 N IH-35 Austin, TX 78752
