The Hometown Holiday Handmade Market is a juried market held during Northville’s Hometown Holidays weekend in partnership with the Northville DDA and Chamber of Commerce, featuring original, handcrafted goods in a professional and welcoming environment. We seek makers who design and create their own work, including art, décor, accessories, and specialty items. To maintain a high-quality, curated experience, commercial products, direct sales, home improvement, and mass-produced items will not be accepted. The market proudly includes opportunities for youth makers, Northville senior vendors, and makers of varying abilities from the Living & Learning Enrichment Center.

Community Partnership*

We are proud to showcase the many talents of our community and encourage artists of all ages and abilities. This means being able to offer a free community table to youth vendors under 18 years old and members of the Living & Learning Enrichment Center. This includes a 6'x4' space, one (1) 6' table, and two (2) chairs. We understand assistance may be needed to make these spaces a success, but it is expected that the majority of the products for sale have been created by the artist.

If more space is needed, artists are welcome to purchase one of our full, standard-size booths, at a 25% discount. This discount is also extended to our Northville senior residents as part of our 50 North program. Please contact recreation@northvilletownshipmi.gov with any questions.
