Fall Makers & Shakers: Boozy Artisan Market 2025

Ready or not, holiday shopping szn is here.
Step Out Buffalo’s Fall Makers + Shakers is back this holiday season! The best shopping event of the year is happening over TWO 3-day weekends. This year we’re hosting a total of 225 vendors across both weekends at The Powerhouse! That’s 125 vendors each weekend, starting with a 3 day weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving this year from Nov 21 – 23, followed by another 3-day stretch on Thanksgiving Weekend from Nov 28 – 30, 2025.
What can you expect? Tons of awesome artisans as usual – all curated for your shopping pleasure in a stunning setting (no, really). Plus Bloody Marys and mimosas, food trucks, boozy samples, and more fun surprises like M+S exclusive giveaways at each vendor where you can enter to win free stuff as you shop!
Announcing: Makers + Shakers Toy Drive
We’re so excited to share that the Makers + Shakers Toy Drive, presented by Twenty6 Productions and Step Out Buffalo, is back this year!
