Indie Craftstravaganzaa Spring Market
Drop by Ben's Bikes either Saturday or Sunday April 28th and 29th, to check out the 2012 edition of Athens Indie Craftstravaganzaa Spring Market.
Craftstravaganzaa, now in its 5th year, is a bi-annual handmade market that brings an eclectic selection of emerging artists and crafters from the South and beyond. At Craftstravaganzaa you won't find any commercially produced or imported goods, only quality items handcrafted by the artists themselves. Expect fine arts and functional pieces, eco-chic fashions and innovative goods made with an eye towards sustainability.
We are really excited about the expanded 2 day show this year. This year, Craftstavaganzaa is the same weekend as the Twilight Criterium, a popular bike race that draws thousands of people to our area annually.
Again, this year we'll have food carts (Ursa Minor and The Farm Cart), DJ Mahogany and Erogene Tew Photography is bringing their photography booth for our guests. Our musical guests include Cicada Rhythm, Ol Smokey, Zeke Sayer, Shoal Creek Stranglers and more.
This Spring, something new (and kinda old) at Craftstravaganzaa--we will have vintage vendors selling their one of a kind wares in the top lot. The Vintage Market at Craftstravaganzaa has brought together a quality selection of clothing and home items that are at least 20+ yrs old, brought to you by folks who are in the business of picking out the gems from the junk.
We hope you'll enjoy this added feature and support our Vintage Market as well as you do our Handmade Market!
