Events

I participate in several different artisan markets throughout the year in the Bradenton/Sarasota/St. Pete area. Most of these markets begin in October and run through May. You will find my schedule below for each event. Be sure to check back to see if there are any changes or cancellations. I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at the markets!

This quirky, friendly street festival has become one of Tampa Bay’s most anticipated annual celebrations. Held in Gulfport, just across the Skyway Bridge in Southern Pinellas County, GeckoFest combines the artistic energy of Gulf Port with the colorful flair of Mardi Gras. It was created to celebrate the end of summer! More info to follow.
