You might be thinking, "Not another street fair...," but goods sold here are definitely top-tier. The fair will take place outside in McCarren Park and is free to attend. Hundreds of artists (click here for a list of vendors) will sell handmade goods and artworks, each passionate and eager to answer questions about the pieces they have on display. Last time, I purchased a handmade t-shirt, a tote for my mom, hand-printed coasters and earrings for a friend.
In addition to browsing all of the inspiring crafts, you will also have the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops to make your own gift wrap, bags, accessories and more.
Although you can pick up some snacks from Hecho en Casa, Urban Rustic and Joyride's coffee bar at the fair you may want to walk over to Peter Pan Bakery for a doughnut to start your day.
Hopefully I will see you at the fair!
