Markets & Events

Handmade Arcade is passionate about helping makers connect with customers through our makers and events.

Holiday Market

Named one of “35 Indie Craft Fairs Every Creative Person Needs to Visit” by Buzzfeed in 2014, Handmade Arcade’s Holiday Market is Pittsburgh’s largest handmade holiday shopping event. Each year, the Holiday Market features 250+ vendors and welcomes more than 10,000 shoppers to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Spring Market

Our annual Spring Market features 30 new and emerging makers and is hosted by our partners at Construction Junction. This event welcomes 2,500 shoppers each year.

Virtual Catalogs

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, HA created and hosted robust Virtual Markets on the organization’s website when in-person events were not possible. As in-person events have returned, the Virtual Markets have evolved to be Virtual Catalogs that coincide with every in-person market, boosting makers’ online presence and creating another way for customers and makers to connect.
