Returning for 2026, the Music Makers Market in downtown Alpharetta, Georgia is a special part of the Wire & Wood Songwriters Festival, showcasing local artists and makers whose original art and handcrafted goods are directly inspired by or connected to music. We’re looking for unique work that celebrates the spirit of music — like reimagined vintage vinyl album art, music-themed paintings, handmade instruments, jewelry or décor made from musical materials, or any other creative products that speak to music lovers. The market will be centrally located along Commerce Street — right in the middle of all the excitement — placing your booth at the heart of the festival, surrounded by live performances, great food, and thousands of music enthusiasts.
Market Hours:
Friday: 6:00 PM — 10:00 PM
Saturday: 12:00 PM — 10:00 PM
Vendor spaces are limited and highly sought after, so all applications will be carefully reviewed. Artists and makers will be selected based on:
1. How well their products connect to music, musicians, or the local music scene
2. The entertainment and engagement value they add to the festival experience
3. Completion of the application by the posted deadline, following all guidelines
4. Our goal of supporting local artists and businesses whenever possible
We can’t wait to see your unique, music-inspired work — thank you for your interest in being part of this creative celebration!

Welcome to The Bayou Magic Market, where lantern light flickers through the mist and the sound of distant jazz beckons you deeper into the moss-draped unknown.
Follow the music and you'll find the real magic: local makers sharing handcrafted treasures, sweet treats, and one-of-a-kind finds just waiting to be discovered.
🎶What Awaits You:
• Magical small shops
• Pin trading community area
• Artisan treats and beverages
• Free parking

Something's gotten loose, and it's headed straight for Main Street. Welcome to the one safe zone left standing — a sprawling market built from scavenged stalls, boarded-up storefronts, and small shops that somehow survived the outbreak. Inside, you'll find treats that look like they crawled out of a quarantine zone (in the best way), gifts worth fighting off a herd for, and finds you won't see anywhere else on this side of the fence.
Bring the whole crew — this is a family-friendly outbreak, no bites. Suit up in your best survivor gear, walker cosplay, or whatever you'd throw on on your way out the door if the dead started walking tomorrow — costumes are always welcome, but showing up empty-handed (well, bite-free) works just fine too.
Books Breath is a one day market for authors, booksellers and bookish crafters, produced by New Row Productions, with the Alpharetta summer edition set for Saturday, August 7, 2027, from noon to 5 pm at a venue still to be announced. Shoppers can meet local authors, find hand-bound journals and browse stationery and cozy goods while getting coffee, tea or a pastry. Vendors set up in 10 by 10 or 10 by 20 foot booths and are hand-selected to keep the showcase curated.

Sip tea, grab a coffee, and enjoy a pastry to keep you fueled while you shop.
