Makers attending throughout the weekend include BB Cakes, Sassy Beans, Dumble Bunny Crafts, For the Love of Drax, Cream City Patchworks, Space Time Coffee, Full Circle Healing and more. 

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to hold the Milwaukee Makers Market for three consecutive days in Deer District,” said Ryan Laessig, Creator of Milwaukee Makers Market.

The market will be open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 and Sunday, Dec. 11.

Admission to the market is free. Lunch will be available for purchase from Heirloom MKE: Food Truck with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.
