Following a successful 2023-24 Decatur Artisan Market season in Decatur, officials have announced plans for a special stand-alone market to be held during the city’s annual Festival of the Kekionga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizer and Market Manager Mary Montgomery-Byer said the special one-day event will be held on Saturday, August 24, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Riverside Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024-25 season, meanwhile, will begin in October and continue through April on the second Saturday of every month, all at Riverside Center. That’s a total of seven markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot only do we have our beloved local artists, but we have artists that come in from all over Indiana, Ohio and Michigan,\u201d Montgomery-Byer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year’s market had everything from hand-carved bird houses, stained glass, pottery, baked goods and candies, original artwork, bath-and-body-care items, candles, jewelry, couture purses and hand bags, published book authors, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere really is no need to travel to a larger city to find high quality and unique items when you can get everything you want locally at the Artisan Craft Market,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market has been raising money for a splash pad since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 2023-2024 season has raised over $4,000 dollars that is earmarked for a future splash pad,\u201d Montgomery-Byer said. \u201cA big ‘thank you’ to the community for coming out to the market, and to vendors and volunteers for all your support. You made this year\u2019s Decatur Artisan Craft Market a success!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
