About this Event
<h4>Pittsburgh's largest handmade holiday shopping event returns!</h4>

At the Holiday Market, you can shop from more than 275 makers and artists selling handcrafted clothing, accessories, art, home decor, jewelry, body products, and more unique items you won’t find anywhere else. Bring your friends and family for a full day of shopping, hands-on art-making, and incredible live art demos


<h4>What to Expect:</h4>
  • Over 275 hand-selected, curated makers, artists, and craftspeople! You’ll find high-quality, handmade items for everyone on their holiday gift list. Over 100 makers are selling at the Holiday Market for the very first time this year!
  • Hands-on Handmade Activities, including live arts demonstrations, hands-on make-and-take activities, and community art projects. We are excited to welcome screen printers, glass blowers, candle makers, fiber artists, and more!
  • The Pittsburgh Glass Center's annual glass sale onsite, where you can shop from Pittsburgh's talented glass maker community all in one place.
  • Our largest Youth Maker cohort ever! We are honored to welcome 15 individual youth makers and 9 groups of youth makers who will sell their handmade products at the Holiday Market.
  • Amazing raffle baskets filled with generous donations from the makers and sponsors with all proceeds supporting Handmade Arcade's mission to empower makers of all ages!
  • A menu of food and drinks from Levy Concession is available to purchase. Please Note: The David L. Lawrence Convention Center is cashless for all food, beverage, and parking amenities.


<h4>Timed Admission:</h4>
  • To control crowds, we require all attendees to sign up for free timed admission.
  • Your time slot designates when you will be allowed to check in and enter the market.
  • No time limitations on shopping: You’re free to shop for as long as you want after you check in.


<h4>Sensory-Friendly Shopping:</h4>

Handmade Arcade will host sensory-friendly shopping from 4:30 - 6 PM on December 7 during the 2024 Holiday Market. Here's what to expect during that time frame:

  • We will limit the number of available ticket reservations from 4:30 - 6 PM by more than 50%.
  • The DJ will stop playing music between 4:30 - 6 PM.
  • We support light engagement only between makers & shoppers (think approaching a table to browse and not engaging in conversation, makers not giving shoppers more information about their products or special sales unless asked, etc.).


Please see our Holiday Market FAQ page for full details about parking, accessibility measures, ticketing, and more.
