Makers + Shakers:
Boozy Artisan Market
Because shopping doesn’t have to be boring
StepOutBuffalo.com is proud to once again host their second annual Small Business Saturday event, Makers + Shakers: Boozy Artisan Market, where over 130 of WNY’s best small businesses, artists, booze-makers, and vendors will take over the entire first floor of the historic Hotel Lafayette ~and~ the Admiral Room on Small Business Saturday, November 24th for the best holiday shopping event of the year.
What’s new this year: This year a portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated towards helping the homeless in Buffalo. The event will also be hosted in not one but two beautiful historic venues with a shuttle service going between them. There will be almost double the amount of local artisans, boutiques, and booze makers, with 130+ vendors, plus there will be new delish holiday-themed cocktails.
More than just a vendor market, Makers + Shakers is an annual super ~fetch~ party. More than 130 local business, shop owners, and artisans will be selling awesome stuff that you actually want to buy while local booze-makers sample and sell stuff that you actually want to drink. Plus, there will be a build-your-own Bloody Mary Bar, cash bar, food for purchase, DIY crafts, and live music from Buffalo’s own DJ Christian Martinez, which is always grool. Bonus: Each vendor will have special giveaways exclusively for attendees of Makers + Shakers to win free stuff. Holla!
The $5 admission price will give attendees access to both venues and the event shuttle so they can easily go between Hotel Lafayette and the Admiral Room – they are 0.5 miles apart, so walking is also an easy, viable option. Tickets will be available both in advance and at the door. Advanced-ticket holders will have access to the expedited check-in lines at both locations, which is perf for people who hate waiting aka most people. There will also be a coat check so you can ditch those heavy af winter coats, and free parking will be available on the surrounding streets #weekendsftw.
See you there! Xoxo, Step Out Buffalo
