Enjoy the Marktstrasse - local handcrafted vendors will be setting up on Minnesota Street from 9am - 2pm on Saturday.  This portion of New Ulm Crazy Days is organized by Maker Fair Minnesota, and we're beyond thrilled with this collaboration! Maker Fair has a higher standard when choosing who they allow to be vendors at their events. They make sure there is a variety of products available from sellers (no overabundance of one category) and every vendor ONLY sells handcrafted items - no third-party goods! Marktstrasse will take place downtown on Saturday, July 23rd from 9am-2pm. Marktstrasse (Market Street) is so named after a Crazy Days staple from years ago. Contact Maker Fair Minnesota for a registration form: 507-340-1721, 507-340-1720, or makerfairmn@gmail.com. Click here for a list of current vendors.
