Cleveland Bazaar's founder, Shannon Okey, kicked off the market series two decades ago — and now leads it into its busiest time of the year, with several holiday markets on the horizon.

🛒 The organization's 78th Street Studios weekend holiday market alone (what Okey calls "the big one") brings $250,000 in sales. But the event's impact goes beyond dollars and brick-and-mortars from former Bazaar participants like CLE Clothing Co.

“The reason a lot of people take up a profession like this is they need the flexibility. They’ve got childcare, they’ve got eldercare, they have health problems," Okey says. "All of those things and more are represented across the spectrum of people who work with the Bazaar.”

🔗 Hear more from Okey, and get to know a handful of Cleveland Bazaar makers, at the link in bio.
