Hello, Etsy! Sue and Danny from The Renegade Craft Fair here. The first-ever Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles, CA is coming up this weekend: July 11 + 12 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the top floor of the California Market Center — it’s a craft fair in the sky! Our events are always FREE to the public and we hope to see you there! 

Gorgeous 360-degree views of downtown Los Angeles will provide the backdrop for the stellar work of over 200 artists and craftspeople traveling from all over the country to sell their handmade goods. Renegade Craft Fairs feature many Etsy sellers and give you the chance to see their work in person!  You’ll find everything from clothing, jewelry and accessories, to plush items, bath products, housewares, stationery, concert posters, greeting cards — you name it!
