Grand Rapids market to introduce merchants and makers

Next month, Grand Rapids will host the Merchants and Makers Small Business Saturday Market.

Local food vendors and shoppers are expected to gather for a full day of activity in West Michigan. Running from morning till late afternoon, the market will offer a curated mix of makers and artists whose products appeal to visitors searching for holiday gifts. The schedule also includes live entertainment, with performers and magicians featured throughout the event. Additional activities are planned as part of the day’s programming.

SILVA is set to offer holiday themed concessions within the market area. The event aims to draw community involvement while giving independent businesses a chance to present their products ahead of the holiday season. Merchants and Makers, an organizer based in West Michigan, specializes in artisan markets that highlight local food vendors and other makers. Since its 2017 launch, it has expanded into a popular series that attracts droves of visitors annually.

Vendors preparing to meet new customers may rely on professional business card printing to share contact details and essential information that shoppers can take home.

Printed cards can also support follow up communication after an event like this, helping small businesses maintain connections after it ends.

The market welcomes the public free of charge, with hours running from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, November 28 in Grand Rapids. More information is available on the Experience Grand Rapids website.
