We are thrilled to bring the Traverse City Shop and Sip back to the Grand Traverse Resort on November 23rd, 2024. The Traverse City Shop & Sip is a fast paced, juried, handmade market consisting of exclusively positive vendor attitudes, enthusiastic shoppers, as well as the best handmade goods found in Northern Michigan! Shopping will be open between 1:00-7:00. We will have multiple bars set up throughout the event space.
Acceptable Media
The Traverse City Shop & Sip is committed to supporting the handmade movement in our region. We pride our event on the ability to secure artists who provide handmade, original works. All entries will be reviewed and juried prior to vendor acceptance to the event. Applicants are selected based on several factors. We look for high-quality, original, handmade work that will be attractive to our demographic of shoppers. We aim to provide a wide variety of products and price points to ensure that no one walks out the door empty handed. We limit the number of vendors in each category.
