A popular craft market is coming to San Francisco this weekend after the fair’s two-day event was a success. West Coast Craft Market will take place this weekend, on Saturday, August 24. The market is a smaller, single-day version of the craft fair’s massive two-day event that took place in June. The outdoor market will run from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday at Fort Mason Center.
The market is free and open to the public, and 100 vendors from across the West Coast, and it’s a great opportunity to check out the vendors if you missed the last market.
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.
In addition to these SF events, WCC Market will also appear in Los Angeles in October 2024, with similar vendors in attendance at ROW DTLA. Plus, West Coast Craft recently announced a massive vintage clothing market with over 100 vendors in September at Fort Mason Center.
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.
