The Decatur Artisan Craft Market will open its 2024-25 season this Saturday at Riverside Center, 231 E. Monroe St.
Hours will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
All sorts of crafts will be available for sale, along with various sweet treats.
This will mark the first of seven craft markets held the second Saturday of each month at Riverside.
Ensuing dates are Nov. 9, Dec. 14, Jan. 11 Feb. 8, March 9 and April 12.
A special craft market was held during the Kekionga Festival in August.
The ’23-’24 market, which also began in October and ran through April, brought in 154 artists, crafters and vendors to sell their one of-a-kind, hand-made goods in Decatur, according to Mary Montgomery Byer.
The market has been raising money for a splash pad since 2017.
“The 2023-2024 season has raised over $4,000 dollars that is earmarked for a future splash pad,” Montgomery-Byer said at the conclusion of last season.
Anyone interested in vendor space at the markets should contact Montgomery Byer at: DecaturArtisanMarket@yahoo.com
