Who else is excited for our inaugural Downtown Ala

Who else is excited for our inaugural Downtown Alameda Winter Market TODAY from 12pm-8pm!? 🙌🏼 Celebrate the season with holiday shopping, live entertainment, festive sips (seasonal beers, wine & Glühwein - a warm, spiced wine!) and delicious bites. Say hello 👋🏼 to some more of today’s wonderful vendors:

@all_good_living’s mission is to provide quality products that are sustainably made while maintaining ethical work practices and giving back to our community. You’re probably familiar with the popular “The Island” design, but have you seen the new “The Island Holiday Sweater” ornament!? Make sure to check out the rest of their new holiday collection.

@trudyworkshop embodies the essence of vintage carpet bags, and are handmade in San Francisco. The upholstery fabrics are sourced from local shops in California, and are always bold, bright, colorful, retro, mod and whimsical.

@tossandthrows specialized in handmade pillow covers, throws, cross body bags and two way tops made with cotton mud cloth from Mali Africa to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

@honourbrand creates quality heritage graphic apparel honoring extraordinary people, places and events in California. Don’t miss their collection of vintage inspired foods honoring the island city of Alameda’s past!

@trifoxatops creates original animal paintings, prints, greeting cards, and fun stickers to show off (both dinos and animals). The artist, Jenna, also does pet portraits and commissions, so stop by and talk to her if that’s something you’re interested in!

Chris Tam with @face.body.studio is a licensed esthetician and certified pilates instructor. She will have a lot of skin care and product samples to give away, as well as a raffle to win a custom facial and a basket full of products!

Celebrate the season with holiday shopping, live music, festive sips (seasonal beers, wine & Glühwein - a warm, spiced wine!) and delicious bites. 💫🎁🍷 Say hello 👋🏼 to just a few of this weekend’s vendors, including both local artisans and some of our favorite downtown businesses:

@primrosethreads will have handmade polymer clay and resin jewelry, which are not only durable and lightweight but also bold, colorful and beautiful. Plus 10% of sales are donated to an organization for positive change.

@dougierubes with Fifth Season Studio makes beautiful ceramic pottery out of his studio in the Bay Area, including ramen bowls, plates, mugs, jewelry dishes, vases and more. They are more stunning in person so don’t miss out.

@alameda_candle_co pours small batch soy candles and tops each one with a floral paper lid. Check out the best seller, “Christmas Tree Lane”, as well as new trio gift sets - three minis in holiday scents or traditional Alameda-themed scents.

@thatsmyjamcompany produces jam that is picked fresh off the vine, made in small batches, with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and free of pectin, excess sugar or thickeners. For the holidays they will have plenty of gift sets and holiday flavor options.

@juliesteagarden will have all kinds of Julie’s products, ranging from baked goods to coffee and tea gift sets along with some hot drinks to keep you warm as you stroll around the Winter Market.

@magpieandthorn is a purveyor of rare, strange, and unusual plants, pottery, garments, gifts, unique living arrangements, and interior plant-scaping services. Plants make great gifts, and theirs are high quality, sourced ethically and locally, and hand-picked just for you.
