Media Sponsorships
Your media sponsorship helps bring thousands of shoppers to local artists and small businesses — while putting your brand in front of a values-driven, highly engaged audience.
Where Your Support Goes
“As a low-income disabled maker who can’t manage staff or a brick and mortar, it’s great to see that makers like me also have a better chance of participating. The market makes a HUGE sales impact, really fuels motivation and business goals, and everyone serious about making it in Pittsburgh deserves a chance to be a part and connect with so many customers.” — 2024 Holiday Market Maker

For many, the Holiday Market represents over half their seasonal — or even annual — sales. Your support literally helps keep small, creative businesses afloat.
