- Friday Night Happy Hour Sponsor
The Friday Night Happy Hour celebrates Handmade Arcade’s creative community with drinks, shopping, and more. Attendees meet the makers in an intimate setting and browse the market before the general public at this ticketed special event.
- Early Bird Shopping Sponsor
A Handmade Arcade fan favorite, our ticketed Early Bird Shopping event gives attendees a chance to shop from makers on Saturday morning before the Holiday Market opens to the general public, avoiding the crowds and getting more individual attention from makers.

Handmade Arcade’s Youth Maker Accelerator program gives 10-15 individual teen makers (ages 13-19) with a free booth, stipends for materials development, and more. Your sponsorship will support the next generation of creative entrepreneurs!
