Sparkle Market 12/14 in Fishtown

Skip the mall and shop Philly-made this holiday season at the Sparkle Market, a queer-led, handmade pop-up and open house at the Philadelphia Burlesque Academy.

This one-day market features local makers, showgirls, artists, witches, and small businesses offering everything from rhinestoned performance pieces and handmade accessories to candles, botanicals, art, tarot, vintage finds, and more — plus a glitter bar for anyone who wants to leave a little shinier than they arrived.

Every purchase supports Philly’s creative and nightlife community, with proceeds going directly back into the local “glitter economy” — aka the artists and performers who keep the city vibrant.

It’s the perfect place to find a thoughtful gift for your queer bestie (or yourself), explore the academy during open-house hours, and support small businesses in a fun, community-centered way.

Free entry. All are welcome.
