ONE SEASON. THREE REASONS TO SHOW UP.
The holiday market does not happen in one weekend.
Crafts Fest gives makers room to build their presence across a season—bringing different products, collections, stories, and offers into the marketplace as the season unfolds.
Each 9-day cycle has its own focus, giving customers a reason to return and makers another opportunity to meet them.
OCTOBER CYCLE
Design + Making
LOOK at what we make.
In celebration of Design Week Philippines, October puts the spotlight back where it belongs: on the work, the ideas, the materials, the process, and the people behind what we make in Mindanao.
For makers, it is an opportunity to introduce your work, launch new pieces, and let customers see more of what goes into what you make.
9 market days
NOVEMBER CYCLE
Reuse + Repurpose
RETHINK what we consume.
November changes the way we look at the marketplace.
Alongside makers creating with reclaimed, repurposed, and upcycled materials, Swap+Shop Community PopUp invites the community to put good things back into circulation.
Bring something you no longer need. Find something you'll use. Give it another life.
For creative brands, it is also a chance to show how thoughtful making can change the way we use materials—and what we choose to keep.
9 market days
DECEMBER CYCLE
Crafts + Carols
GIVE with intention.
December is when the marketplace becomes a destination for giving.
Bring your holiday collections, giftable pieces, bestsellers, and special finds into the season when customers are actively looking for what to buy and give.
For shoppers, it is a chance to find something made with thought.
For makers, it is the moment to meet holiday demand with your best work.
9 market days
