It's more than just a shopping experience—it’s a chance to connect with and support the Indigenous art community.

What an incredible Saturday it promises to be in Missoula. Not only will many of you be getting geared up for the University of Montana Grizzly football playoff game Saturday night at 8:15, think of all the unique holiday shopping you can do ahead of the game on Small Business Saturday, November 30!

One of the showcase events will be the Indigenous Made Winter Market at the Missoula Fairgrounds from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. As organizers like to say, "Shop Local, Shop Indigenous!"
