Sure, much of the holiday season has become entangled with commercialism and consumerism over the years, but if you’re going to shop during the yuletide season, you can at least do it ethically at Mayday Space’s sixth annual Social Justice Holiday Market.
Taking place at the Bushwick venue (176 St. Nicholas Ave) on Saturday, December 16 from noon to 6pm and Sunday, December 17 from 3pm to 7pm, the market will have a broad, curated selection of politically-conscious gifts on sale, including upcycled clothes, handcrafted jewelry, massage oils, house plants, herbal remedies, skincare products, posters celebrating protest movements and more. In between shopping, take advantage of food vendors, festive drinks, holiday portraits, kids activities and music throughout the event.
