It’s official — The Wandering Makers Spring Kickoff is coming BACK to Mount Trashmore!! 🎉🌸🙌🎊🎉 After an absolutely INCREDIBLE first year, we’re doing it bigger, better, and for the very first time… TWO FULL DAYS of The Wandering Makers magic at Mount Trashmore this March, from 10 am to 4 pm on both Saturday the 21st, and Sunday the 22nd!
🤯 Last spring was unreal — tons of local makers, food trucks, live music, all-ages games, massive raffles, and THOUSANDS of people showing up to shop small, support local, and just have a ridiculously good time together. So naturally… we’re doing it again — and then some! 👀
✨ What to expect this year:
• 50 local makers & small businesses (handmade, handpicked, and truly one-of-a-kind) 🤩🛍️
• Food trucks serving up the good stuff🚚
• Live music BOTH DAYS🎵🎶
• Our fan-favorite The Wandering Makers contests & games — all ages, all fun:
– Potato Sack Race 🥔👟
– Hula Hoop Contest 🌺
– Hot Potato 🔥🥔
🎁 Each contest features a gift card prize to spend with our vendors — money going straight back into the local community 🙌💰
• The return of the Wandering Library 📚
• Plus, the TWM original you all know and love : The Wandering Rose Game! 🌹Find one of our hidden Wandering Roses during the event and turn it in for a prize! 🏆
• Plenty of space to relax, explore, play, and enjoy Mount Trashmore with friends, family, and pups on leashes 🌳🌼🛍️🦮🐾
🎟️ Let’s talk about the raffles — because they’re kind of a BIG deal 👀
✌️This year, since it’s a two-day event, we’re doubling down:
• FOUR total raffle prize baskets
• Two winners on Saturday + two winners on Sunday
• Each basket is packed with items donated by our vendors — meaning you could win goodies from dozens of small businesses in one shot
✨ Even better?
🤩🎊🥳 It's the TWM-original SHOP-TO-WIN RAFFLE! Every time you make a purchase with one of our vendors, you earn a FREE raffle entry. Shop local = more chances to win. (Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase.)
🤩 Each day has its own raffle drawings, so coming both days means even more chances to win — and more time to fully soak it all in! Miss something Saturday? Come back Sunday. Can only make one day? You're still getting the full TWM experience!
🙌 This event is what The Wandering Makers is all about:
🤝 Community. Creativity. Supporting creatives and small businesses. Having FUN together! 🎊🎉
Whether you’re a longtime The Wandering Makers fan or discovering us for the first time — THIS is the perfect way to kick off spring 🙌🌷
👉 Mark your calendar, invite your people, and come wander with us at Mount Trashmore!
🥳We cannot WAIT to do this again — times two!!
