A popular craft fair is coming to San Francisco this weekend after the fair’s two-day event was a success. West Coast Craft will occur this weekend, on November 23 and 24. The massive market comes to SF every couple of months and frequently has smaller, one-day outdoor markets as well. You can check it out in all its glory this weekend from 10 am to 6 pm at the Fort Mason Center Pavilion.
The fair is free and open to the public and over 275 vendors from across the West Coast, and it’s a great opportunity to get some holiday shopping in early. Plus, it’s indoors, so you can escape the rain and wind this weekend.
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. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to support small businesses and local creators.
Fort Mason Center is wheelchair accessible with accessible parking spaces, and the event is on ground level. There are also plenty of food vendors and coffee shops around the area if you want to grab a bite while you shop.
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.
