“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 will create an incredibly special opportunity to shop while enjoying waterfront views.
This handmade holiday shopping experience will feature local curated makers, holiday photo opportunities, a bow bar, an interactive art installation, a free “make & take” station where attendees can create their own holiday wreaths, and much more!
Among the festivities includes live music both days by Puerto, Preston Harris, Barnacle Boys, Gen 2 Band, Erika Davies, Divina, Devv Lov, Nathan & Jessie, La Boogie Buena, Means to an End, and more!
Guests can also enjoy Go Go Food Truck, Z’s Buddy’s Sushi & Ramen, Buddy’s Pizza, and more. There will also be sweet treats, a coffee and hot chocolate cart, Sierra Nevada beer, kombucha, Sipwell Wine, as well as cocktails and mocktails.
