NYC is well known for being a creative exciting place so it's absolutely no surprise that some of the coolest craft fairs in the country call New York City home. Whether you are traveling to NYC (you should use
New York Hotel Deals for NYC hotels, by the way) or you live there these are the five top craft fairs in New York that you may want to see.
The One of a Kind Show is a juried arts and crafts show held in November every year. When you go to this craft fair you will find truly unique items that can't be found anywhere else. The One of a Kind Show can be found in Manhattan at 7 West 34th St. It is directly across from the legendary Empire State Building.
The Renegade Craft Fair is held each June and it's located in the McKarren Park in the hipster capitol that is Williamsburg Brooklyn. Known as one of the funkiest craft fairs in the United States, you won't find your grandmothers crocheted potholders. It's filled with true cutting edge artists from all around the world.
The Union Square Holiday Market runs from November through Christmas and is filled with hundreds of very talented artists in NYC and the surrounding areas. Purchased your loved ones great Christmas gifts and support artists at the same time. I really love the Union Square area and I'm sure you will too!
The Fort Green Artisan Market is located adjacent to the Greenmarket on DeKalb Ave. near the Forte Greene Park. It is open from April through October. The artisan market features a wide range of cool items for sale. All artists display and sell their own items which creates a more personal shopping experience.
Brooklyn Artists and Fleas is located on in a warehouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's north side at 129 N 6th St. This market is open on the weekends and provides an environment for community and creativity. For a truly hip Brooklyn experience do some shopping at this really cool market.
