The eighth annual Red Geranium Artisan Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19. This event is held both indoors and outside on the parking lot space of the historical First Presbyterian Church of Noblesville, 1207 Conner St., Noblesville.
Fifty artisan vendors were selected through an application and jury process selecting one-of-a-kind, handmade, and unique items. The artisan booths will be located both inside First Presbyterian Church and outside on the parking lot surface. Shoppers will also enjoy live music throughout the day and be able to enjoy some delicious food from the Smokey Blue BBQ food truck, an icy cool housemade gelato at Stacco House by Mammamia, or visit the ladies’ bake sale inside the church for some yummy homemade treats.
The Red Geranium Artisan Market is both family- and dog-friendly with free admission and free parking. Organizers suggest parking at the City Hall parking lot, one block west of the market, at 10th and Maple streets and walking up the street while enjoying the shaded “Old Town” homes of Noblesville. Street parking near the church is available but limited. Handicap parking spaces are available on the alley running between Adrienes Flower Shop and the church. Find an attendant to help you get parked and access the show.
What makes Red Geranium unique
Red Geranium only selects two to three artisans from each category to keep the focus on providing shoppers with a variety of unique finds. Over half of the vendors are return artisans year after year because they love coming to the Red Geranium.
There will also be some exciting new artisans ready to share their creations. Categories include antiques, primitives, up-cycled and repurposed creations, garden art, mosaics, pottery, wood, glass art, metal, fibers, photography, jewelry, furniture, boutique clothing for adults and children, pet products, homemade candies and treats, vegetable or flower farmers, food vendors, musicians, and fine artists of all kinds.
The purpose of the Red Geranium Artisan Market is to provide a fun community event that helps First Presbyterian Church raise funds for local and world missions. Vendors are charged a booth rental that goes directly into the church mission fund. When you attend the market, you are helping people right here in Hamilton County and as far away as Appalachia, Hungary, and Ukraine.
The mission team hopes everyone will enjoy the market and encourages guests to take a free tour of the historic church built in 1893. They also invite anyone to attend a Sunday Service at 10 a.m. or check out the live stream worship service at fpc-noblesville.org/live.
