I Heart Indie Markets: Pop-up Events

I Heart Indie Markets: Pop-up Events (I.H.I.M. Pop-up Events) has events all over the United States. The first event took place in Madison, WI in November 2017 under the name Madison Makers Market. Over the years it has grown to being in five states, with more locations to come! 

​

I.H.I.M. Pop-up Events has four types of maker events we currently coordinate:

• Small community pop-ups. These events are usually coordinated along side another community function, ie: a tree lighting ceremony.

​

• Weekay Events. These take place on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday evening and are casual, weekday pop-ups, typically with 5-10 vendors at one brewery or distillery. These are frequent (monthly or bi-weekly) and are extremely low cost for vendors.

​

• Makers Market + Bar Crawl events. These events take place at 4-8 breweries, distilleries or bars, all at once, and in the same neighborhood. Typically there are 30-85 vendors total who set up at various locations, adding a different twist to the ordinary sip & shop craft fair. These markets are walkable, though most offer free shuttle service as well.

​

• Larger seasonal one or two day indie markets, which take place in one fun location! These events are typically larger events (50-200 vendors), and include “extras” like food trucks, kids craft corners, entertainment, etc.

Booth & Vendor Information

I Heart Indie Markets is guided by the following ethos: Community Over Competition and Makers Supporting Makers. To us, it's about more than a couple of hashtags. 

All of our events are all about community: cultivating community, loving the community we live in, and of course, building up the maker in our community.
