Come be dazzled by debris at the Trashy Holiday Market!
Celebrate Reverse Black Friday (Nov 27, 4pm-9pm) and Small Business Saturday (Nov 28, 10:30am-4pm) with a variety of circular, local, anti-Billionaire activities. Brought to you by Nowhere Collective.
Our junky jamboree features ingenious local artisans who transform trash into one-of-a-kind goods & gifts, plus other reuse resources, upcycled crafts, and comedy. Bring your materials to our artisans for their next line of wares.
Shop from 35+ eco- & socially-conscious small businesses offering an array of uniquely upcycled, hand-crafted wares, like home goods, planters, art, fashion, bath & body and more.
There is no better way to show love for our one-and-only planet - and each other - than to gather together as a community. We have nowhere else to go, so let’s go nowhere together.
