Madison Makers Market Black Friday

Shop Local & Celebrate Craft: Madison Makers Market Black Friday 2025

Date: Friday, November 28, 2025
Time: Noon – 5:00 PM
What: 8th Annual Black Friday Makers Market
Where: Multiple walkable venues in Madison (State Line Distillery, Imaginary Factory, Working Draft Beer, Giant Jones Brewing, Old Sugar Distillery, The Deliciouser, Vintage Capitol East, Hotel Indigo) 

• Support Local Makers
  Over 100 local and regional artisans will bring handmade goods—perfect for holiday gifts, unique decor, or just treating yourself.

• Walk & Shop
  The event is structured like a pub-crawl but for makers—venues are within walking distance so you can hop from one shop to the next, stopping for a drink or bite along the way.

• Family Friendly Atmosphere
  The market welcomes all ages. While some hosting venues serve alcohol (21+ only), the shopping portion is inclusive and community-oriented.

• Holiday Shopping with Heart
  Skip the big box stores on Black Friday and invest in creations made by your neighbors and regional artisans.

• Handmade artistry: jewelry, ceramics, textiles, prints, wood & metal work, bath & body, food & confections, and more

• Opportunity to meet the makers, hear their stories, and purchase directly

• Food and drink options at participating venues

• A walkable “market crawl” experience across multiple local spots

1. Plan your route — start at one venue and map your walking loop to catch all of them

2. Bring reusable bags — makers don’t always provide heavy packaging

3. Check hours & access — though the market runs noon–5 PM, individual venues may have slight variations

4. Respect age restrictions — alcohol, where available, is served indoors to those 21+

5. Arrive early — the best items tend to go quick
