The Sunset Hills Makers Market returns for its 6th edition on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Watson Trail Park ,12450 West Watson Rd. This juried art fair has become one of the region’s favorite fall traditions, bringing together artists, makers, food, music, and neighbors for a full day in the park.
Juried Art Section – The heart of the Makers Market is its juried art fair, featuring outstanding regional and local talent. Visitors can discover works from both emerging and seasoned artists, original paintings, pottery, textiles, photography, woodwork, jewelry, and more.
Every piece is unique, and every purchase supports the creative community. The Marketplace – Alongside the art fair, the Marketplace offers a different kind of shopping experience. This section is all about homemade and homegrown favorites, the kinds of things you would find at a farmers’ market. Shoppers can expect dips, sauces, baked goods, BBQ rubs, jerky, salsas, houseplants, fresh flowers, and other tasty or homegrown yummies to take home and enjoy.

- Wok-O-Taco
- Best Wurst Food Truck

The Creation Station – Kids will love The Creation Station, a hands-on area filled with creative activities and fun projects. It is a space designed to spark imagination and keep young artists busy while parents explore the fair.
Parking & Shuttle Service – Parking at Watson Trail Park is limited, but visitors will have three additional lots with a free shuttle running throughout the day. Clear signage will make access to the show easy and convenient.
A Community Celebration – The Makers Market is more than just shopping, it is a day to gather, explore, and connect.
