Crafty Bastards and Craft Fair is an exhibition and sale of handmade goods from independent artists that originated 13 years ago in Washington, D.C., presented by our sister publication, the Washington City Paper. Nashville Scene launched a version of the event in November 2014 as Crafts and Drafts, integrating a curated selection of beer for sale along with the handcrafted items, activities, entertainment and food truck fare. Following three successful iterations of Crafts and Drafts, Nashville Scene is relaunching the event in our market as Crafty Bastards, with artist submissions from a national level and relocating this outdoor event to The Gulch neighborhood on Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 10 AM - 4 PM. This is a FREE event!
You will find talented artists handpicked by a select jury for their DIY chops and singular vision. There'll be surprises at every booth including unique homegoods, clothing, punk-rock baby clothes, handcrafted jewelry, plush toys, DIY kits, screen-printing, original art, locally produced food, and much more.

Bulletin Markets feature the best up-and-coming vendors in home decor, jewelry, textiles, prints, ceramics, apothecary, food and more. The Bulletin Market is free to attend and open to the public. Friends and family welcome!
Bulletin + Hangry Garden
Bulletin has teamed up with Hangry Garden to bring a new type of market to Williamsburg - Bulletin Market. Bulletin + Hangry Garden are turning the giant vacant lot on N8 and Driggs into a summer block party - a place to hang all day, relax, and enjoy. Next weekend, meet and shop local designers, snag eats from the best NYC food vendors, sip on a beer and play games in the sun. Expect a full bar on tap and local DJ spinning to help you enjoy these beautiful summer months. See you there every weekend.
More about Hangry Garden
Hangry Garden is your unconventional food market. This is not a “grab & go” eating experience, but more so a one-stop shop incorporating many up and coming mobile food vendors alongside live music, art installations, and games such as shuffleboard and
foosball. Many NYC food markets forget to create a comfortable environment for patrons to hang out, eat and actually enjoy each other's company. By inserting a mini botanical oasis in the heart of New York, locals will have a new place to spend their summer days.
