On Saturday, Meet Local Makers While You Escape the Pollen

Skip the generic big-box aisles and head to the North Raleigh corridor for a curated deep dive into the local maker scene. On Saturday, March 28, 2026, the Southern Creative Gift and Craft Market is taking over the first floor of Triangle Town Center to showcase the heavy hitters of the 919’s artisan community.

This isn’t your average mall stroll—think of it as a high-energy gallery crawl tucked right next to Macy’s. You’ll find a massive spread ranging from hand-poured candles and architectural wood pieces to small-batch party dips and custom jewelry. It’s the ideal Saturday pivot for anyone looking to support small businesses while staying blissfully shielded from any unpredictable spring showers.

📍 Triangle Town Center (1st Floor next to Macy’s), 5959 Triangle Town Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27616
📅 Saturday, Mar. 28, 2026 | 12 p.m.–5 p.m.
💰 Free admission

Since you’re saving on shipping by buying local, you have full permission to spend that extra cash on a box of those handmade sweets. We won’t tell!
