The Innovation Center at Saratoga will host its first annual Holiday Makers Market on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, inviting the community to shop local, discover regional artists, and support neighbors in need—all under one roof.
The indoor market, held at the Innovation Center’s creative makerspace at 16 Old Stonebreak Road, Malta, will feature 27 juried local artisans and makers offering a wide variety of handcrafted gifts, including fiber arts, woodworking, jewelry, ceramics, holiday décor, take-and-make art kits, baked goods, and more. Specialty coffee drinks will be available from Saratoga Sundry.
“We’re thrilled to bring so many talented makers together in one space,” said Beth Moeller, President of the Board of Trustees of the Innovation Center at Saratoga. “The Holiday Makers Market is about more than shopping. It is about celebrating creativity, supporting our local artists and entrepreneurs, and building community during the holiday season.”
Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy live music while they explore the Innovation Center’s collaborative makerspace and learn more about its mission to support creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators in the region. The Innovation Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides shared equipment, studios, classes, and business support for artists and makers of all ages.
In the spirit of the season, admission to the Holiday Makers Market is a canned or boxed good—or hygiene item—donated to Lifeworks’ Food Programs. The Innovation Center will also be raffling off products donated by participating artisans to raise additional funds to support the continued growth of the makerspace and its community programming.
“We want this event to reflect what the Innovation Center is all about—creative energy, connection, and giving back,” added Moeller. “When you shop here, you’re not only finding one-of-a-kind gifts, you’re directly supporting local makers and helping us expand opportunities for learning, making, and collaborating in our region.”
