(May 11, 2017) The May 2nd Friday art stroll in Berlin this week marks the 2017 debut of the Maker’s Market, an outdoor gathering of arts and artisan vendors that will run May through December.
The market will close part of Jefferson Street, near Main Street, and include crafts and children’s, according to Berlin Arts & Entertainment Committee Chairwoman Heather Layton.
“We have been getting inquiries since December about when is it going start, when can I set up? I’m super excited,” Layton said. “I think we’ve got some really great artists this year.”
Layton said that will include Returning Tide from Queenstown, Maryland.
“They show from Ocean City to Annapolis to Fell’s Point,” she said. “I think they’re going to be here pretty much every 2nd Friday.”
Also this Friday, Vicky Mullaney of Cambridge, will sign copies of her new cookbook, “The Lodge at Black Pearl Cookbook: Raising and Feeding a Hunting Family.”
“Their lodge [in Cambridge] is booked out for something like two years and they have diplomats and government officials – big people – up to the lodge to hunt,” Layton said. “She’ll be right in front of the Atlantic Hotel doing a book signing.”
Additionally, Layton said the Maker’s Market would include wood turners from McIntosh Woodworks and several jewelry makers.
Free kid’s activities will include sidewalk chalk, bubble wands and hula-hoops.
“It’s something to keep the kids occupied while parents shop the Maker’s Market or have drinks at the Atlantic Hotel,” Layton said. “Most of the shops will be open as well. [Bungalow Love] will have a paint night, Baked Dessert will have a new artist and some wine that they’re debuting, and there will be an open mic night at Zenna [Wellness Studio].”
Berlin’s 2nd Friday festivities will feature more than a dozen art displays in shops throughout the downtown area, along with sales and specials in restaurants from 5-8 p.m.

Layton said the A&E committee is also looking for local artisans to take part in a Maker’s Market during May Day Play Day, next Friday. The cost, per table, is $50 and is tax deductible.
