About Us
Handmade Happy Hours was founded in May 2019 as a solution for Chicago Makers & Artists to participate in affordable, well-organized, and regularly scheduled markets.
*As of October 2021, we have hit the pause button on live events. We’re excited to see what 2022 holds for us!
Since May 2019, we have grown from a group of 6 artists, to a community of over 230 local artists & makers.
Pre-pandemic, HHH hosted monthly curated pop-up markets, aimed at providing artists with an affordable space to sell their work.
Our Events
Carefully curated by our founder, we provide a unique selection of handmade goods in a fun, welcoming atmosphere.
We’ve been complimented by vendors, venues, and customers on our positive and supportive environment.
When you attend an HHH event, you can expect to see a wide variety of handmade goods. HHH curates and selects vendors for each event to provide a selection of handmade wares and allow each vendor to shine in their own light.
You can expect to see both new & experienced artists, all from within the Chicagoland community.
We strive to offer both new & experienced artists with a comfortable, affordable, and welcoming environment to sell their work and network with other makers in Chicago.
Our motto is “Community over Competition,” and we live that by fostering a collaborative environment amongst venues, artists, and customers alike.

“Great pre-show promotions, and pre show instructions, a well organized floor plan. Everything was well planned and I felt very informed. Quick response time to questions.”

One of the things I like best about Handmade Happy Hour markets is the community of makers & artisans… every singly vendor is kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and so friendly.
