Albany Artisan Faire Market Debuts April 19, Enriching Local Shopping Scene

Starting April 19, the vibrant city of Albany will welcome the Albany Artisan Faire Market, a fresh addition to its bustling downtown scene.

Located on 4th Street, between Broadalbin and Ferry Street—nestled between the Courthouse and County Health Services—this market aims to showcase the talents of local artisans who handcraft their own items.

Organizers are actively seeking vendors passionate about their craft.

Interested artisans can reach out to Stephen Poole via email at scdmpoole@peak.org.

He is committed to responding within 24–48 hours with further details.

Visitors and residents alike will soon have the opportunity to peruse a diverse array of homegrown produce, fresh flowers, and unique locally crafted goods.

These offerings are perfect for personal enjoyment or as thoughtful gifts.

The introduction of the Artisan Faire Market is a testament to Albany's dedication to supporting local talent and fostering community engagement.

As Lonna Capaci of the Albany Visitor’s Association expressed, "We’re excited to welcome this new addition, celebrating the creativity of local craftspeople."

In addition to the Artisan Faire Market, Albany's downtown area is home to several other markets that contribute to the city's vibrant atmosphere.

The Albany Farmers' Market, for instance, has been a staple in the community, offering fresh produce and local goods.

Furthermore, the Clinton Market Collective, which officially opened on August 1, 2024, has transformed a previously underutilized space into a dynamic venue for startup businesses, diverse pop-up retail, local art installations, and signature events.

These markets collectively enhance Albany's appeal, providing residents and visitors with a rich tapestry of shopping experiences.

Mark your calendars and prepare to explore the creativity and craftsmanship that Albany's artisans have to offer.

Come explore, shop, and support local artisans!
