In this unusual holiday season, some beloved traditions, such as shopping at holiday craft fairs, will be different or nonexistent because of the coronavirus.
The popular Renegade and Echo Park craft fairs are postponing events until 2021, while others are finding new ways to connect with shoppers.
Several holiday markets plan in-person shopping events despite COVID-19, with outdoor staging, limited entrance, mask mandates and touchless payment.
Want to buy a gift for the holidays from the person who made it? Here are 12 holiday markets you can shop online and in person while supporting local artists and small businesses. Know of an event we missed? Alert us, and we’ll add it. If you do shop online, shipping might be delayed because of the holidays and the pandemic.

Unique Markets L.A. Holiday Market
The 13th annual Unique Market moves from the penthouse of the California Market Center to an outdoor venue at the sprawling Row DTLA. “Same festive atmosphere with music and a great curation of L.A.-area only sellers — just outdoors and [with] only 25% of sellers and attendees,” said Sonja Rasula, founder and chief executive of Unique Markets. Two of the lanes at Row DTLA will be transformed into a festive, pedestrian-only market. Face masks will be required, and booths will be spaced more than eight feet apart.
