Join Us for a WILD holiday Gathering at the Girl Gang Craft Fair in Oakland

Hello, amazing community members!

What better way to celebrate the Holidays than by coming together for a delightful Saturday morning at the Girl Gang Craft Fair in Oakland? We're thrilled to invite you to a WILD Meetup at the vibrant gathering of local artisans, beautiful crafts and holiday cheer. Meet at 11:30-1:30 at Lake Merritt, at the Southeast Lawn near Scottish Rite Center (northeast of the Lake Chalet). Join us for a grass gathering BYOB/Lunch. We’ll mosey over to the craft fair around 12:30 as a group and head back to the park when done to chat further and show off our finds???

Note: The craft fair is from 11-5

Girl Gang Craft started when Phoebe Sherman couldn't find affordable events to show her feminist apparel + accessories. She gathered 15 maker friends in a small cafe in Oakland, and that was the first Girl Gang Craft. Since then her shows have grown to include 120 makers and have hosted events all over California. The mission of GGC will strive to create support and community while educating creative entrepreneurs with ways to level up their business (hello accounting, social media + email marketing, brand partnerships and time management) while also pursuing joy and balance.


Event Highlights:

‍ Creative Entrepreneurs: Meet new friends and admire handmade crafts from local artisans.

️ Holiday Shopping: Get a head start on your holiday shopping and some good old fashioned networking, too. Maybe you’ll meet your next coworker?

BYOF: BYOBrunch/Lunch for grass gathering

Ticketing and Entry: Free entry. See you there!
