Brookside Museum is inviting local craft vendors to join its 26th Artisan’s Market, a juried showcase of handmade products that will run from November 28 through December 23, 2026. The event will be held at the Saratoga County History Center within the museum grounds in Saratoga Springs, New York.
The market is organized as a juried exhibition, meaning participating makers will be selected based on the quality and originality of their work. By limiting the field to vetted artisans, the museum aims to present a curated collection of locally produced goods that reflect the region’s craft traditions.
Brookside Museum’s Artisan’s Market serves a dual purpose. It provides a platform for regional makers to display and sell their creations, while also offering shoppers a venue for holiday gift shopping that emphasizes locally sourced, handcrafted items. The museum highlights the event as a means to boost holiday commerce for the community’s artisans.
The 26th edition continues a long-standing program that has featured a variety of handmade goods each year. Hosted at the Saratoga County History Center, the market benefits from the museum’s historic setting, adding cultural context to the contemporary crafts on display. The timeframe spanning late November to late December aligns the market with the peak holiday shopping season, positioning it as a seasonal destination for both residents and visitors seeking unique, locally made products.
