News Release

MILFORD — The second Makers Market hosted by Made on Main will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 27, on the lawn at Harvest Coffee & Market, located at 207 N. Higbee St., Milford.

If you are a supporter of handmade goods and love to shop local, then make plans to attend.

At the Makers Market, you will be able to shop dozens of small businesses in one place. Local artists will be sharing their handmade products like leather accessories, woodwork, jewelry, books, rugs, natural skin care, baby and kids items, baked goods and apparel. There will be face painting and a bounce house, too.

“Art comes in a million forms,” said Angie Deak, Made on Main owner and event coordinator. “We have so many artists in our area. The goal of the Makers Market is to provide a slower-paced atmosphere full of great talent, bringing together our local makers, giving them quality exposure to their own community.

“I’m a huge supporter of handmade items, shopping small and local, and I love to encourage others to do the same.”

In addition to the market, Harvest Coffee will be open and serving treats, drinks, breakfast and lunch items, and Big C’s BBQ truck will be in the parking lot from 10 a.m. until sold out.

If the Harvest Coffee lot is full, customers are encouraged to park at the church south of the market.

Made on Main’s studio is located on Main Street in downtown Milford. Find the group on Facebook, Instagram or visit madeonmain.fun for more information about adult do-it-yourself workshops and June’s art camp for kids.
