HANDMADE ARCADE

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Handmade Arcade is Pittsburgh's first-ever indie craft fair. And, now that we're working on our FIFTH annual event, may we modestly add it's still the biggest, the baddest & the best.

We created the annual Handmade Arcade to give grassroots, independent crafters an opportunity to show and sell their wares. It's an alternative to Pittsburgh's established, traditional craft and art fairs.

This two-day show is in its fifth year and is a mainstay of the Pittsburgh craft scene. We've got a new location this year that we're really excited about - it's in a great, central location that'll give us a lot of room to breathe. The show is again two days this year - November 8 and 9.
