All weekend long you can enjoy the wares, activities and drinks at the Detroit Urban Craft Fair, now in its 16th year. 

Hosted by Handmade Detroit, the fair opens Friday at the Masonic Temple and showcases more than 100 jury-selected vendors selling traditional handicrafts with a contemporary spin — perfect to tackle your holiday shopping list.

Crafters from Michigan and around the Midwest and beyond will sell a range of handmade goods, clothing and art pieces. We picked out a few makers vending at the Urban Craft Fair whose booths we’re most looking forward to visiting: 

Danni Little is a self-published author and Detroit-based creator, known for her candid literary style. She’s offering handmade books, knit hats and scarves. Shop on Etsy.

Essence by Noble, founded by Aaron Noble and Jai Machen-Whitworth, is a bath and beauty product line in Detroit. Their soaps and other personal care products are 100% vegan. With a focus on sustainability, they replace plastic with biodegradable packaging whenever possible so that the products can be an easy step in reducing everyday waste. Shop on Etsy.
