Looking for unique gifts on the Westside? A craft fair and vendor market comes to Downtown Santa Monica on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 8 AM. It’s a day of local artisans, handmade goods, and community — the perfect place to find gifts that feel personal and one of a kind.
Whether you’re a shopper hunting for something special or a maker looking to connect with the community, a market like this is where you’ll find the details that make gifting memorable. You’ll browse handmade items, meet the people who made them, and get a feel for the craftsmanship that goes into every piece.
What to Expect at the Santa Monica Craft Fair
Expect a lively day of vendor booths filled with handmade goods: ceramics, textiles, jewelry, home decor, art, and more. It’s a chance to shop small, support local makers, and find gifts that carry a personal touch you won’t get from a big-box store. Arrive early for the best selection, and bring a mix of payment options — many independent vendors take cash as well as cards.
Don’t overlook the personalized gift vendors. Custom, engraved pieces are some of the most memorable gifts you can give — and some of the easiest to make truly your own.
