Returning for 2026, the Music Makers Market is part of the Wire & Wood Songwriters Festival, showcasing local artists and makers whose original art and handcrafted goods are directly inspired by or connected to music. We’re looking for unique work that celebrates the spirit of music — such as reimagined vintage vinyl album art, music-themed paintings, handmade instruments, jewelry, or décor created from musical materials, as well as other creative products that resonate with music lovers.
The market will be centrally located — right in the middle of all the excitement — placing your booth at the heart of the festival, surrounded by live performances, great food, and thousands of music enthusiasts.
Market Hours:
Friday, October 9th: 6:00 PM — 10:00 PM (set up is 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm)
Saturday, October 10th: 12:00 PM — 10:00 PM (load-out does not begin until the streets have cleared and police allow vehicles to re-enter the market area, which may not occur until as late as 11:00 PM)
Vendor spaces are limited and highly sought after, so all applications will be carefully reviewed. Artists and makers will be selected based on:
- How well their products connect to music, musicians, or the local music scene
- The entertainment and engagement value they add to the festival experience
- Completion of the application by the posted deadline, following all guidelines
- Our goal of supporting local artists and businesses whenever possible
We can’t wait to see your unique, music-inspired work — thank you for your interest in being part of this creative celebration!
