Mālama Hawaii Makers Market

Went in August, there were thrifted books, LOTS of jewelry, some clothing and bathing suits, paintings, resin bowls, and a kids furniture seller. We were looking for more hand crafted trinkets to bring home and there was only one booth selling wooden knife holders and practical objects but still a very cute kind of girly market!

So fun! A great market for local, slow crafted goods, such as swimwear, baby goods, and jewelry. They also had live music and some prepared food and desserts, which was also quite lovely. Great place to stop by on a Saturday morning / early afternoon for gifts.

Where do I start? As a shopper the Koko Head Elementary School was easy to get to and parking, YES parking was ample & free. The vendors were all great. Each booth had unique items to purchase at a reasonable price. They took the time to talk about their items and how they were crafted. They did NOT pressure sell. Food? Yes! Deeeelish!!! As a new vendor, I'd like to not comment to ensure I always have a spot there BUT this is too good not to share. Communication- amazing! Even after I paid. The process was a breeze. We received our information packets and setup instructions in advance. They always provide helpful tips too. There are 2 best parts to this- 1) the other vendors were welcoming, complete Aloha. 2) the buyers, simply the best. The atmosphere created made shopping and selling a 5+ star experience. We've been searching for a home to sell our pet treats and we have found it. If you're looking for great unique gifts, Hawaiian grown turmeric (hot item) artwork, or just want to walk through and grab a bite, this is the place to be. Check out their schedule. Support our community!Oh wait!!!! Back upppp! I almost forgot. And I can't believe it! It's PET Friendly!!!!!! Your pets will love being social here! Green grass and ample shade. Plus, they can come to our booth for a free treat or 2. This is by far my best Pop up Market as a shopper and vendor. Definitely come by and check it out.

Such a cute and fun market! All the vendors are interesting and love what they do! The photo booth and live music was my favorite part of the past market, so unique and fun for the whole family or for just something cool to do on a Sat. I know the market is expanding and growing so excited to see what they do next!!

I love to be a vendor at this market !! The Set up and style are unique, Vanessa and her team are always very helpful and friendly. Makers market help my business so much ! Mahalo (L) Waimana Team.
