Join the Queer Makers Market at Mechanics’ Hall for a cozy afternoon of shopping for homemade goods.

The Queer Makers’ Market is a regularly occurring market made up of local makers, artists, and peddlers of the weird and wonderful who identify as a part of the lgbtqia+ community.

The market is free to enter and runs from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM.

There will also be a clothing drive to support Maine Needs.
