Wintry Market is Idaho’s premier curated Winter maker’s market showcasing the best of art, craft and design. This event is an upscale and inventive indie art/craft show in Boise every November recently named the best holiday bazaar in Idaho by Food & Wine magazine and one of the best in the West by Sunset magazine. Wintry Market consists of innovative and original items produced using traditional art/craft methods by 175 regional artists & crafters. For 14 years we have prided ourselves as being an affordable marketplace for one-of-a-kind goods. Food, coffee & drinks (alcoholic + non) available for purchase on site (no outside food or drinks allowed except water bottles). Come enjoy a creative weekend with us and shop handmade for the holidays! Event Details: We are excited to present our 14th year of Wintry Market on Friday Nov 21st from 4-9pm and Saturday Nov 22nd from 9am to 5pm on the main floor of the Boise Convention Centre downtown Boise on the Grove Plaza at 850 W.

We know, like you do, that our makers are extraordinary, and the quality of their handmade wares unique and limited. We are definitely not our grandmas’ Christmas bazaar (though none of us would be here without their creativity, tenacity and legacy) and definitely not for everyone. Our artisans can be edgy - they push the boundaries of art and craft, think outside the box, are sometimes both naughty and nice, and take risks. Wintry Market champions makers of all kinds.
