2023 Native Made Market in Rochester, NY

Join the community on “Small Business Saturday” to shop local and shop small, by shopping Native Made at the 2023 Native Made Market!

Save the date! On Saturday November 25, 2023, the Native Made Market is back again in Rochester, NY to honor and celebrate Native cultures of the past, present and future. This gathering brings Native creatives, entrepreneurs, educators and other community members together in an effort to immerse people into various Native cultures in an engaging, meaningful, and impactful way.

This year, the market headquarters is at Innovation Square, located at 100 South Clinton Avenue, Rochester, NY 14604 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is available on the street, below the venue in the Midtown parking garage, and attached to the venue via a skywalk is the Washington Square garage.

At the market, guests can support by shopping Native accessories, apparel, paintings, sculptures, bead art, and so much more! Door prizes have been donated by various local businesses and will be announced throughout the day. This is going to be an amazing event to experience as we really highlight what it means to support local by supporting Indigenous people.

We are delighted to welcome back several artists from last year like David Farnham, Isaac Dalimonte, Allan and Gabriella Jamieson, Faye Lone, and organizations like the Indigenous Peoples Day ROC NY, Common Ground Health, and Our Voices Project! We have a ton of new creatives joining this year as well like Heather Hill, Jerome Waterman Jr., Clifford Redeye III, Rachel Schindler, Rosa Vargas, Edye Waterman, David Pierce, and Awendea and Joseph Kabance! Throughout the day we will have guest speakers from Our Voices Project, Indigenous Peoples Center, Braiding The Sacred, and Perry Ground from Talking Turtle Stories.
