Can you believe it? Spring is finally here (even if it doesn’t quite feel like it). The days are feeling a little bit longer, the outdoors feeling a little bit warmer, and our hopes just a little bit higher that we can finally put our snow brushes away for good. 

To help start the season off right, Step Out Buffalo is hosting our annual Easter Makers + Shakers Boozy Artisan Market –think cute gifts, bubbly beverages, and overall good vibes. 

About the Market

Returning to The Powerhouse for two full days (Saturday, April 12 & Sunday, April 13) the Easter Makers + Shakers Boozy Artisan Market is the best way to shop Buffalo and Western New York’s local small businesses, artists, and vendors this season. Gather your spring must-haves, Buffalo Easter essentials, Mother’s Day gifts, and more – all in one place. 

Vendors will feature products like home goods, apparel (new and vintage), candles, jewelry, Buffalo-themed gifts, accessories, gourmet foods, beauty and spa items, art decor, craft booze, a flower bar, and more! 

Plus, each vendor will have a giveaway exclusively for attendees of Makers + Shakers to win free stuff, while you shop. 

And our favorite part? As you stroll through the market and shop the huge selection of locally curated products, you’ll also be able to and enjoy free samples from local booze makers! Pro tip: Don’t forget to stop by the Bloody Mary and mimosa bar. (It’s not called a boozy market for nothing!) Food vendors will also be available on site if you’re looking to grab a bite.

FeedMore WNY Food Drive

In addition to the vendors, we will be hosting a FeedMore WNY food drive at this year’s Easter Makers + Shakers event! We encourage all attendees to bring non-perishable food donations such as cereal, canned food, nut butters, pasta and rice, baby food, diapers, and formula. Please drop off all donations to the FeedMore WNY Barrel near the event entrance. We thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity in supporting our friends at FeedMore WNY and their honorable mission.
