Boardwalk Craft Market in Old Poway Park

The Boardwalk Craft Market is now every Saturday until Christmas on the Hamburger Factory & Historical Society boardwalk in Old Poway Park from 8 AM to 2 PM. A Poway tradition since 1993, the Boardwalk Craft Market is a juried show of contemporary artists working in traditional crafts. Why drive all over the county looking for one-of-a-kind gifts? You can find the work of award-winning, nationally known artists right here in Poway. The artists bring their latest creations, so there is always something new and different. Items may include handblown glass, porcelain & stoneware pottery, kitchenware, adult & children's clothing, quilts, toys & dolls, games & puzzles, beadwork & jewelry, and paintings and decorations for the home & garden. Artists this week include gourd artist Pamela Hall with holiday gourd decorations and Criss Stern "the Quilt Lady". 

The Saturday morning Farmers Market has moved to Midland Road in front of Old Poway Park. The Park is still open to both cars and pedestrians during Farmers Market hours. Follow the signs to the Hamburger Factory parking lot where you'll find lots of parking spaces within the Park just steps from the Boardwalk Craft Market.
