The Makery features products from 85 local artists all year.
This event gave small businesses a chance to connect with the community.
"I think that's what makes a community really interesting because you get so many different people's creativity, and their own life experiences, and I think that's what makes it a special gift, even for yourself, but it makes you excited to be able to give that gift cause, you know, a lot of care was put into it," said Magnolia Rose Candles Owner Suzanne Mattern.
Organizers say this event is part of Back Mountain Makery's mission to support small businesses and local artists all year round.
