Buffalo’s best small businesses, artists, vendors, and booze-makers will be taking over the entire first floor of the historic Hotel Lafayette ~and~ the Admiral Room on Small Business Saturday, November 24th for the best holiday shopping event of the year.

We will be donating a portion of the proceeds from this year's event to Buffalo City Mission. 

What’s new this year: 2 beautiful historic venues, shuttle service, more than 130 vendors, more free booze samples, new delish holiday-themed cocktails, tons of free stuff, + more. Keep reading, it gets better.

More than just a vendor market, Makers + Shakers is an annual super ~fetch~ party. More than 130 local business, shop owners, and artisans will be selling awesome stuff that you actually want to buy while local booze-makers sample and sell stuff that you actually want to drink. Plus, there will be DIY crafts, Bloody Mary Bar, cash bar, food for purchase, and live music from Buffalo’s own DJ Christian Martinez, which is always grool. Bonus: Each vendor will have special giveaways exclusively for attendees of Makers + Shakers to win free stuff. Holla!

The $5 admission price will give attendees access to both venues and the event shuttle so they can easily go between each place. The venues are 0.5 miles apart, so walking is also an easy, viable option. Admission also includes a sheet of raffle tickets to use at the vendor giveaways!

LOCATION: Hotel at The Lafayette (391 Washington Street) + Admiral Room (237 Main Street)
