Is it already time for holiday shopping? Yes, it is. No need to worry, however, because a myriad of holiday markets will be popping up soon around New York. Among them is the Renegade Craft Fair, coming back with fabulous handmade goods galore to Manhattan in November.
Whether you’re shopping for friends and family or looking for something unique as a treat to yourself, the Renegade Craft Fair offers a wonderland of artwork, clothing, jewelry and home decor, all made by a select group of the best crafters around.
One of the most exciting NYC events of the season (and not just for craft fanatics), the Renegade Craft Fair features hundreds of vendors selected to sell their wares over two weekend days. You can spend all day shopping, enjoying live entertainment and even trying your hand at some DIY crafting. You’ll find everything from artisan soaps and candles to ceramics and “wearable sculpture” to cozy sweaters and doggie bow ties. Whimsical jewelry? Handcrafted leather goods? Stylish plant hangers? Yes to all. There’s simply not enough space to describe all the wonders you might find here. We promise you, however, this is where you want to go for unique, handmade gifts this season (and of course, something special for yourself). And if you just can’t make it to either fair? Have no fear — all the crafters from all U.S. fairs are available to shop online.
