Lockport, the Spring Maker's Market is back and we are bringing it bigger and better than ever! The alley behind Nik & Ivy Brewing is about to come alive this Saturday with a brand new lineup of incredibly talented local artists and makers ready to show you what they have been working on all winter long.
Come sip on a cold craft brew from Nik & Ivy and stroll through one of the most thoughtfully curated outdoor markets in the area. We are talking spring décor, freshly crafted spices, small-batch roasted coffee beans, handcrafted candles, jewelry, homemade dog treats, giant cookies, and fresh-baked breads alongside stunning wind chimes, original woodworking, self-care products, one-of-a-kind sculptures, wood-burned art and incredible 3D printed creations. And that is truly just scratching the surface.
This year we have over 18 local artists and makers bringing everything from honey to jewelry, woodworking to crystals, original art to vintage finds and even comics. Every vendor is hand-selected to make sure you get maximum variety and genuine quality every single time you visit. This is not a flea market, this is a curated experience built by makers who pour their heart into every single thing they sell.
We are hoping for that perfect cool spring afternoon, a little sunshine and a whole lot of good energy. Whether you are shopping for yourself, hunting for a unique gift or just looking for a great way to spend a Saturday, this is the place to be.
