all about patchwork show

EST: 2007

 

Our multi-city festival celebrating local creativity and community with maker booths, crafting, food and music.

I’m Nicole, that’s me at one of the first Patchwork Shows!

how it started...

Back in 2007, tired of hauling my handmade goods from my business Random Nicole to big-city craft fairs, my former business partner and I decided to create something closer to home. With 25 vendors and a parking lot in Santa Ana, the first Patchwork Show was born. It was small but mighty—a day filled with creativity, connection, and handmade magic.

how it's going...

Today, Patchwork Show has grown into a multi-city celebration of creativity and community. Each free, family-friendly festival features a curated rotating lineup of talented local makers, DIY craft stations, artisan food vendors, live music, and more.

In 2024, Patchwork Show entered an exciting new chapter! With Nicole Stevenson as CEO, LeAnn Foss has taken the helm as Director of Patchwork Show. 


With her passion for the creative community, LeAnn brings a new perspective and passion while staying true to the heart of what makes Patchwork Show special.

patchwork show isn't just a market...

. . .it’s an incubator for small businesses, a place where connections are made, and creativity thrives. Vendors grow their brands and build loyal followings, while attendees discover unique handmade goods and support local makers.

 

Whether you’re here for the shopping, the snacks, or to get inspired, Patchwork Show welcomes you with open arms. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the handmade goods—it’s about the people behind them and the community that brings it all to life.
