Shop creations from hundreds of regional artists at the annual Bozeman Fall MADE fair at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse
The Bozeman Fall MADE fair has been announced for early next month, with event organizers excited to connect artists with the Gallatin Valley community once again. The event will take place at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on Friday and Saturday, October 18th and 19th. Friday is VIP Night from 5–8pm, with early bird admission on Saturday at 9am and general admission from 10am–4pm.
Shop and discover a curated collection of 195+ local and regional artists. You can expect to see everything from affordable, functional works of art to fine heirloom pieces at the show. Make a day of it with your friends and enjoy strolling the aisles and supporting your local artists.
Though entry and parking are free to attendees during the main Saturday event, those interested in a head start on shopping can purchase a $10 Friday VIP Pass for an exclusive shopping experience from 5–8pm the night before the event opens to the public. Beat the crowds with a $5 Early Bird Pass to gain entry from 9–10am on Saturday. Proceeds will benefit Shakespeare in the Parks, a traveling troupe that connects communities, many of which are rural, to works by the Bard in local parks and public spaces free of charge. Attendees: please bring a non-perishable food item to help support the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.
