A group of San Diego artisans who had planned to host an in-person holiday market this weekend before the stay-at-home order changed things will, instead, showcase their work virtually.
San Diego Made – a collective of local makers and artisans – is currently hosting a virtual shopping fair, helping small vendors sell their unique goods that are handmade in San Diego.
The collective hosts a holiday market every year, which has become an important showcase for local artisans – and their busiest and most profitable time of the year.

Santos said the in-person market had been postponed to next month – Jan. 30 and Jan. 31. If it happens, Santos and Dinnis said it will be a big way for locals to support small vendors struggling from the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
