Pick Your Shopping Party
Step through the buffalo-plaid archway—this isn’t a craft fair, it’s a curated shopping party for Ohio pride. Choose the experience that fits your style.
Pick VIP on Friday night (21+ with VIP-only maker discounts and our signature raffle), Early Access on Saturday morning for room to explore and talk with makers, or General Admission for the full afternoon energy and festive soundtrack.
Every option delivers 80+ handpicked Ohio makers, styled photo moments, and an experience designed to feel special.
21+ • ID required
Headline perks (why VIP sells out):

The experience:
An adults-only night out with first pick from 80+ curated makers, lighter crowds (limited capacity + staggered entry), and a festive atmosphere—music, styled photo spots, and event-crafted cocktails.
