‘Tis the season to be jolly – that’s right everyone; we are currently within the holiday shopping extravaganza. From now until the end of December, retailers small and large alike are going to be swamped with customers hoping to find that little extra something special to give to their loved ones this holiday season.
If you are in the mood for something that is a little bit more handmade, then look no further than Pittsburgh’s very own Handmade Arcade. Taking place on December 8th at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, hundreds of crafting vendors will set up shop for the day.
Not only will the event take place on December 8th, but there will be an inaugural event the night before on December 7th hosted to a crowd of 18+, with live entertainment, DJ, along with a silent auction, all benefiting the Handmade Arcade operations and scholarship programs.
