One of the most beloved Craft Fairs on the West Coast is coming to SF this weekend. West Coast Craft Market will be at Fort Mason on Saturday, March 9. While this isn’t the massive, two-day indoor market that you may know and love, you can still browse through stalls of local artisans and creators. The market will still feature an impressive 100+ vendors showing their best work. The outdoor market is from 10 am to 3 pm, outdoors at the Fort Mason Center.
Fort Mason Center Festival Pavilion will host the indoor version of West Coast Craft with 275+ vendors later this year. The next two-day market will take place June 8 and 9 at the Fort Mason Center Pavilion. It’s free and open to the public, and food and beverage vendors are present throughout the day.
West Coast Craft is the ultimate celebration of artisans specializing in the West Coast lifestyle and aesthetic. You can find everything from ceramics, clothes, artwork, candles, jewelry, and more at the fair. It’s a great place to pick up one-of-a-kind gifts for yourself or your loved ones. You get to support small businesses and local creators. The two-day indoor market is massive and can be a little overwhelming, so if you want something more lowkey, the outdoor market this weekend is perfect.
In addition to these SF events, WCC Market will also appear in Los Angeles on April 27, with 175+ vendors in attendance at ROW DTLA.
Make sure you leave some time to explore Fort Mason Center, which has several free exhibitions as well as delicious restaurants. Some of our favorite places to grab a bite are Radhaus, a German/Californian beer hall located in an old U.S. Army machine shop; and Greens, a delicious vegetarian restaurant with stunning interiors and waterfront views. Grab a coffee or cocktail at The Interval at Long Now, which also happens to be a floor-to-ceiling library dedicated to rebuilding civilization.
