Motors & Makers
Motors & Makers Market is a vibrant fall festival where horsepower meets handmade. Formerly known as the annual Car & Craft Fest, this reimagined community tradition brings together the best of local creativity and classic cars for a weekend full of family-friendly fun.
Stroll through a curated market of talented local vendors and makers, explore an impressive car show featuring everything from vintage classics to modern showpieces, and enjoy delicious food from local favorites. Kids can dive into the excitement in our dedicated Kid’s Zone, while families take in the festive charm of pumpkins, colorful mums, hayrides, and all the cozy touches that make fall unforgettable.
Whether you’re here for the motors, the makers, or the memories, Motors & Makers Market is where community, craftsmanship, and classic cars come together to celebrate the season.
