Renaissance Market, Austin

Tucked right off the Drag (the stretch of Guadalupe that runs parallel to the University of Texas campus), this open-air market is filled with the work of Austin artisans who sell handmade jewelry, woodcrafts, tie-dyed shirts, glasswork, toys, pottery, and more one-of-a-kind items.

This market claims to be Texas’ only continuously operated open-air arts and crafts market. The number of artists varies by season, reaching a crescendo in the weeks before the holidays and a low point during the Christmas break when UT students are few and far between.

Hours: Daily 8 a.m. (ish)–10 p.m.

Location: 23rd and Guadalupe Streets
