The Urban Craft Uprising Winter Show is back in Seattle this weekend for their 20th anniversary!
It’s the perfect place to find a unique gift for this holiday season. Established in 2005, Urban Craft Uprising is a bi-annual craft show in Seattle that is (in their words), “carefully curated and juried to ensure the best mix of crafts and arts, along with quality and originality.” This popular craft show features over 150 vendors and often draws around 15,000 visitors to Seattle Center Exhibition Hall over the course of the weekend.
Best of all, it’s free! It’s also very family-friendly, so don’t hesitate to bring the kiddos along.
This weekend, the Urban Craft Uprising Winter Show is back at Seattle Center from Friday, December 6 through Sunday, December 8. If you’re on a budget, plan to attend for free on Saturday or Sunday.
If, however, you’d like to spend a little to beat the crowds, you can buy a ticket for around $15 to attend the Friday preview night. This ticket grants you early access to vendors’ inventory before the rest of the weekend’s shoppers. There will also be food vendors and free raffle prizes. Note that Friday night is for ages 21 and up only.
If you plan to attend on Saturday or Sunday, aim to arrive early! The first 100 people at the door on each day will get a free swag bag full of goodies from vendors and sponsors.
Vendors for the 2024 winter show will be selling handcrafted items such as: original artwork, clothing, children’s clothing, bath and body care, candles, ceramics, food, housewares, jewelry, toys, and more!
Here are the daily hours for this weekend’s winter show:
- Friday preview night (ticketed): 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.
- Saturday (free): 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Sunday (free): 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
To get to the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, we highly recommend ride sharing or public transportation. Parking in the area will be scarce and expensive.
