And, last but never, ever least? San Pedro year-round crafts marketplace CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles gets a visit from a rubber duckie this weekend!
They’ll have a ten-foot tall “baby duck” on display, as a preview of the L.A. Waterfront’s Tall Ships Festival, happening next week, August 20th through the 24th. (The ten-foot tall duckie is a replica of the world’s largest rubber duck that will lead the Tall Ships Grand Parade of Sail at the start of the Festival on the 20th.)
And once you’ve had a chance to take a picture with “baby duck”, CRAFTED invites you to explore! They’re having a two-hour writers’ workshop at 1 this afternoon in their Booth #184, Read On Till Morning. There will also be an ongoing DIY class, all day in CRAFTED‘s “Creation Station”, in which you can choose a fabric and craft your personal-style tote bag, or make one for back to school. And as you browse the marketplace and find treasures from more than 100 independent artists and artisans onsite, you can hear live acoustic music from “Brooklyn 232“, who start their first set at 2 this afternoon. (CRAFTED, of course, is in Warehouse 10, 112 East 22nd Street near Miner, in San Pedro.)
Crafts under the stars, African woodcarvings and a giant rubber duck–just three ways to continue the summer fun this weekend!
