2022 Summer Markets hosted at the Kettlehouse Taproom on the Hip Strip
The Missoula Makers Collective Summer Markets take place every other Thursday, next to the Kettlehouse Taproom on the Hip Strip! Shop from more than 25 makers and enjoy local brewed beer!
The First Missoula Makers Market
It began with a problem: there are few winter markets in Missoula, meaning that makers have less access to selling their products in person outside of the summer months.
As makers, we know exactly how important it is to be out in front of your customers; to create awareness, visibility, and maintain relationships.
In the fall of 2021, we began planning monthly indoor winter markets at Oi! Yoi! Studio in Missoula. The space was small and we could only host about ten makers at a time, but the public response was incredible. We had over 200 attendees at multiple of the monthly markets, and realized we needed to continue hosting the Missoula Makers Markets into the summer.
Fast forward a couple of months, and we were hosting our first outdoor markets next to the Kettlehouse Taproom in Missoula. We again saw impressive attendance that gained traction as the summer went on and were able to host over 100 different makers.
Now, having our store, we’re able to host more winter markets than ever in the same place that we offer other resources to makers! We are so glad to be able to provide these opportunities to makers and are looking forward to future ways to serve this community!
