Featuring Wannabe Tacos Food Truck
Join us for a vibrant celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community!
This special event shines a spotlight on the small businesses that keep the fiber arts world thriving. It’s more than just shopping—it’s about gathering with fellow makers, exchanging ideas, and celebrating the joy of creating together.
Whether you knit, crochet, weave, or you’re just getting started, this is your invitation to connect, learn, and be inspired. Meet fellow makers, share your projects, and soak up the creative energy all around you.
Settle in and stay awhile with our all-day Sit & Stitch! Bring your current project, grab a comfy seat, and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming space to stitch, chat, and connect. Drop in for a few minutes or linger for hours—either way, you’re part of the community.
And because creativity pairs perfectly with great food, Wannabe Tacos food truck will be parked right out front serving up delicious bites all day long!
