Market of handmade goods comes to Andover area

The Artisan Market at the Mills will be taking place for the seventh consecutive year in North Andover. This is the largest market of handmade goods in the Andover area and features 100 specialty food vendors and artisans and is presented by The Village Studio.

The Artisan Market is a juried event. It began in the summer of 2018 as a collaboration between the East and West Mills and the North Andover Farmers Market. It is typically held on the Sunday before Mother’s Day with a rain date for the Sunday after Mother’s Day. The event was taken over by The Village Studio in 2023. The Village Studio is a gift shop in North Andover that sells gifts, jewelry, and home decor.

This year the event is supporting Lazarus House Ministries. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items and unused clothing to be collected. There is no fee to attend the market and parking is also free.

Such special events and their charitable endeavors are often promoted throughout a town and surrounding communities with posted printing.

The Artisan Market will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday May 4 behind the West Mill on High Street in the parking lot. The East Mill parking garage across the street will provide ample parking for the event.
