2018 Handmade Promenade Holiday Pop Up Shop

Can you believe we are about to kick off the 8th annual Handmade Promenade Holiday Pop Up Shop? That’s right, we’re back and we are in an exciting throw back location this year! We will be returning to one of the first spaces we occupied, 750 N. College Avenue, right on the Cultural Trail and just steps away from the intersection of Mass Ave and College Avenue. Way back in 2012-13 when Handmade Promenade was just baby we occupied this unfinished, unheated space for two seasons. It was awesome and we loved having to lock the door just so we could run a half block around the corner to use the restroom! Awww the things we do for the love of handmade!

Well, listen here, the excellent news this year is that the space now has lights and heat! It is absolutely gorgeous inside. It has walls, and carpet! And we can’t wait to return to our old home. So much has changed in the last few years in the area, hundreds of new apartments and many restaurants have sprung up around this unassuming little spot on College Ave. We’re going to light those windows back up though and bring in all the shoppers. Will you join us for the 2018 season of Handmade Promenade? Find all the details here or skip the details and jump here for the application!

For those of you who have been with us for many years, here is a throw back picture to that space oh so many years ago. We will have some updated photos to share soon enough!

Applications now open for the 2017 Handmade Promenade

I know there has been a buzz- what’s going on with the pop up shop? Well, I am excited to announce that our 2017 location has been selected and we are returning to Mass Ave for the 7th year of our holiday pop-up shop. All the details are here on our FAQ page, so please give it a solid read and then apply. We’re going to open in Early October with weekends, followed by a ramp up of hours for November and December!

We look forward to having you join us!

Applications now open for the 2016 Handmade Promenade Holiday Pop Up Shop

I know, every year you think I do this later than the year before, but hold on to your socks friends because the application is open 22 days earlier than last year- 22! It took a just  minute to nail down the perfect location for our 6th year of the pop up shop- it’s everything  we could ask for and more. For the 6th year of Handmade Promenade our Holiday Pop Up Shop goes to Market! We’ll be located at East Market Street, inside the Historic City Market on the mezzanine level near Tomlinson Tap Room!

The FAQ (I implore a good reading of the FAQ) and applications are open on our website!

Postponed: May 6th Event

Sometimes life happens, and this year it’s happening at a time that really conflicts with the Annual May Handmade Promenade, so I’m going to have to postpone. Thanks so much for your interest and understanding and look for an update on the possibility of re-scheduling soon. xoxo, Martha
