This year’s show features an incredible mix of returning Crafty Supermarket favorites and talented new makers from Cincinnati and across the region.

When you shop with independent artists and small businesses, your dollars have a bigger impact close to home. Research shows that local independent businesses recirculate an average of 48% of their revenue back into the local economy, compared to less than 14% for chain retailers, helping create jobs, support other local businesses, and strengthen our communities.

So whether you’re checking names off your gift list or treating yourself to something handmade, every purchase helps support creative entrepreneurs and contributes to a stronger local economy.

As always, admission is free, and we’ll have a welcoming environment, great music, and a ballroom full of creative small businesses ready to help you shop handmade this holiday season.

We can’t wait to see you at Music Hall!
