Brooklyn, NY—Spring is in the air, and plans are already under way for the second-annual Spring Handmade Cavalcade. On Saturday April 24th, this handmade shopping event will set up for the day in the beautiful new Williamsburg bar, Berry Park.

“With its high ceilings, roof garden with views of the city, and beers from around the world, it’s the perfect place to spend a spring afternoon,” said Karin Persan, lead coordinator of the event.

The Spring Handmade Cavalcade is hosted by The {NewNew}, a collaborative group of independent designers in the New York metro area. With its Handmade Cavalcade series, The {NewNew} seeks to present shoppers with a carefully curated selection of goods made by local artists. “We’re featuring some of our best and brightest craftspeople in this event,” Persan said. “We are excited to make the Spring Handmade Cavalcade a notable shopping event in Brooklyn once again this year.”

In honor of its proximity to Earth Day, this year’s Spring Handmade Cavalcade will focus on sustainably-made products. “Many of our members produce goods which have a minimal ecological impact, and we’re highlighting them in this Cavalcade,” Persan said. “The Handmade Cavalcade will showcase sustainably- and locally- made housewares, paper goods, and apparel and accessories for any occasion.”

Free, limited-edition goody bags will be available to the first 100 visitors who arrive at the Spring Handmade Cavalcade. Shoppers will also be eligible to enter to win one of six custom-embellished goody bags filled with handmade products from featured Cavalcade vendors.

The Spring Handmade Cavalcade is sponsored in part by Swap-bot.com and Etsy.
