What to expect

The organizer describes a lively mix of handmade treasures from local artisans, food-truck fare and live entertainment. The square’s walkable layout makes it easy to move between booths, compare materials and techniques, and talk directly with the makers behind the work.

How to enjoy the show

Start with an unhurried first pass through the tents, then return to the pieces that stayed with you. Ask artists about materials, process, care and whether a work is one of a kind or part of a limited series. If you are considering a larger piece, bring wall measurements and a few photos of the room where it may live.
