great eats at our big show
Buying handmade can really give you an appetite! Lucky for you, we’ve got a bunch of great food vendors who will be at our craft show on Nov. 29 at the Music Hall Ballroom.
In addition to the food trucks outside and food vendors inside, we’ll have a cash bar so you can grab a soda or a mimosa while you shop!
Inside food vendors:
- Baking You Happy: Cupcakes baked like a boss.
- Dojo Gelato: Doesn’t matter if it’s cold outside: Every season is gelato season.
- La Terza Coffee: Our man Chuck brews a great cup of coffee.
- Plus two food-as-craft vendors who will be selling packaged goodies for you to give (or eat, we won’t judge): sweet little desserts by Brown Bear Bakery and fine chocolate gifts by Chocolats Latour
Outside food vendors:
- C’est Cheese: Just what you need on a cold winter’s day: gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and hot soup!
- Fireside Pizza Wagon and Melt Eclectic Cafe: The brick oven pizza should not be missed.
- Red Sesame Korean BBQ: These sweet, sour and spicy dishes will give your tastebuds a kick in the mouth!
- Waffo: Waffles, waffles, waffles! Sweet, savory — everything is good.

get involved with the show
Crafty Supermarket is a big undertaking. If you’ve ever been, you know what we’re talking about: dozens of handmade vendors who drive from hours away to be with us, and thousands of shoppers who want to see what they brought. To help us make the craft show run smoothly, we count on our dutiful volunteers and sponsors to give us a hand and help spread the word!
Volunteering
At our big show on Nov. 29 at Cincinnati’s beautiful Music Hall, we have a couple of opportunities to help out. (And when you assist us for a couple hours, you’ll get one of our famous swag bags!) Volunteers can help shoppers know where everything is, assist vendors who need a break, and help load in at the beginning of the day and clean up at the end of the day. You can learn more and submit your info here. We’ll get back to you a few weeks before the show with the schedule. (Note that we sometimes get more volunteer applications than we can take, but we’ll get back to you either way!)
Parnerships
We work with all kinds of local organizations who love handmade and want to help spread the word. From arts nonprofits and landmark institutions to DIY shops and enterprises, if you support the maker movement, we’d love to work with you! Our media partners this year are Cincinnati Magazine and 91.7 WVXU. Learn more about sponsorship opportunities here.
