SEATTLE – The 5^th Annual etsyRAIN Handmade Holiday Show moves to the Bell Harbor International Conference Center along Seattle’s historic waterfront. This marks the second move in as many years for the show offering a convenient location away from the throngs of shoppers on Black Friday and Saturday. It will kick off the holiday shopping season with beautiful and diverse handmade gifts from local artists and craft makers.

The show will take place on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30 from 11am – 5pm both days at Elliott Hall at Pier 66 inside the Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal on Alaskan Way.The spacious venue will be filled with 90 hand-selected vendors selling high quality items for the whole family.

“We were looking for a home to move to and stay for future Handmade Holiday shows to present quality gifts at a consistent location. We’re very excited to be working with the professional team at Bell Harbor that sets the standard for events in Seattle”, said etsyRAIN Organizer, Marlo Miyashiro.

“We are thrilled to be hosting this event during the holidays. This is a unique event for Bell Harbor and one we know will fit well into our repertoire. We look forward to working with the skilled etsyRAIN team this year and in future years,” said Erin L. Courteau, Associate Director of Sales.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for this year’s show at Platinum, Gold, Silver and Copper levels. EtsyRAIN invites all gift shoppers to “Buy Handmade - Buy Seattle-made” and support small business this holiday season.
