When local craft-makers decided they’d had enough of mass-produced, assembly line goods, they decided to take matters into their own hands and start a craft revolution. The result was Urban Craft Uprising, which in its seventh year now attracts nearly 10,000 fans with its unique variety of over 100 vendors. Handmade goods from clothes to candles, jewelry and food by independent craftsman were available, as well as the famous “swag bags” handed out at the door. Creativity at its finest.
