Makers Arcade Holiday Fair, sponsored by the Port of San Diego, returns to the Broadway Pier for the 7th year – Saturday, Dec. 2 and Sunday, Dec. 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The popular annual shopping event will host over 135 local makers for a seasonal shopping experience with photo displays, gourmet food, live music, cocktails, workshops and much more!

“We are excited to put together another festive holiday event,” said Kristin Dinnis, Makers Arcade co-owner and event coordinator. “This is our favorite time of the year to both shop small and support local creatives and most importantly, the small businesses in our community, while also enjoying the holiday spirit, San Diego-style.”

The pier will be decked out with fun holiday décor and create an incredibly special opportunity to shop while enjoying waterfront views.

This handmade holiday shopping experience will feature local curated makers, holiday photo opportunities – including a photo booth by EZ Photography – a bow bar, a floral bar by Chasin Bloom, an interactive art installation, and a free “make & take” station where attendees can create their own holiday wreaths, and so much more!

Among the festivities includes live music both days by Nathan and Jessie, PUERTO, DEVV LOV, Erika Davies Jazz, Divina, and the Barnacle Boys.

There will be two happy hours each day from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Guests can also enjoy three holiday cocktail bars by Sierra Nevada & ARTS Co., coffee via Bird Rock Coffee Roasters’ “Baby Bird,” and a food truck lot, featuring Dang Brothers Pizza, GO GO Food Truck, Funkie Frenchi, Danny’s Vegan, and more.

The first 100 attendees in line will receive a complimentary gift bag upon entry. There will also be a Kids Area with toys and games, mini golf by San Diego Pop-up Mini Golf, face painting, and more!

Admission is $7, which includes a free make & take holiday wreath. For tickets and more information, visit www.MakersArcade.com, and follow along on Instagram at @makersarcade.
