Holiday Handmade Cavalcade–Manhattan

Local artisans and small businesses have found a holiday home at the Cavalcade—which has grown exponentially since it started north of NYC in 2008. Last year’s event in Chelsea Market was a huge hit, and this year is likely to be even bigger, with locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Members from the NY Handmade Collective (formerly known as the Etsy NY Team) bring their products and handmade wares, all originating in the tri-state area. The group works to expand and strengthen its community by giving local artists a platform to develop their small businesses. Expect handbags, jewelry, apparel, home goods and artwork that are all lovingly made by these indie vendors.
