Crafty Mart is working again this year with the Downtown Akron Partnership to expand its Christkindl-style market at Lock 3. Cottage Mart will take place on Saturday, Dec 3 from 11-7 pm and Sunday, Dec 4 from 11-5 pm. Local artist and makers are taking over eight of the cottages and they will surely enhance your Holidayfest experience downtown. We invite you to do some shopping alongside the ice skating rink, the toboggan ride, the decorated window displays, and the new Akron Children’s Museum. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!

Each of the three weekends in December, Cottage Mart will feature an all-new curated collection of local artists and makers occupying the charming wooden cottages. Come down each weekend for a unique shopping experience (Dec. 3-4th, Dec. 10-11th, and Dec. 17-18th).

This event is made possible by the generous support of The Muriel A. Zodrow Fund of Akron Community Foundation.
