The popular Craft & Mercantile, which gained a loyal following in Weatherstone & Eagleview locations, makes its way to Kimberton (8/19) & Malvern (9/16)
WHAT: Craft & Mercantile is a curated night market celebrating local makers & artisans alongside live music + food & drink. Located in the heart of Chester County, our night markets bring local artists and the community together in a unique way (often described as magical). A good time is guaranteed to be had by all with a curated evening of local artisans, food, and entertainment under the stars & twinkle lights:
Makers Market
Craft & Mercantile represents a refined aesthetic and intentionally curated collection of artists. Shoppers enjoy a thoughtfully produced market comprised of 20-30 curated makers, carefully selected by a qualified jury. Applicants must be hyper-local and craft hand-made, elegant, and unique products.
Food & Drink
A diverse selection of local food & drink is always available at Craft & Mercantile. Sit down for dinner at a nearby restaurant, grab a snack from the food trucks, sip on beer or cocktails while shopping, and even grab dessert to enjoy while you listen to music.
Live Music
A celebration of local artists would not be complete without talented musicians. Live music keeps the event entertaining and enjoyable for attendees of all ages and interests.
Fun for Everyone*
A great community event has something for the whole family. Our custom kids activities are always a big hit with the 12 & under crowd, and offer a way for them to engage in a Craft while their parents enjoy the Mercantile.
*Venue dependent.
