Shop the Waterfront at the Markets for Makers San Diego Summer Market

Broadway Pier is trading its usual waterfront calm for something a bit more festive this summer when the Markets for Makers San Diego Summer Market sets up for two days along the harbor.

With 120+ independent makers bringing their handcrafted work to the pier, it’s an easy way to spend a few hours – or most of the day.

Markets for Makers San Diego Summer Market

Browse the Market

Browse a wide range of handcrafted goods from over 120 makers, stop by the free DIY station for a little hands-on creativity, and snap a few photos at the interactive walls spread throughout the market.

Everybody who walks through gets a free market tote, and kids under 12 get in free. When hunger strikes, food trucks will be on-site to fuel the browsing.
