About the Maker’s Market

The Johns Island Makers Market, presented by New Leaf Builders, brings neighbors together to celebrate local makers, small businesses, and the creative spirit of our community.

The Mission

Our Mission is to support local makers and small businesses while fostering community, creativity, and connection on Johns Island.

Business Structure

The Johns Island Makers Market thrives by bringing together three groups of participants, each playing an essential role in making the event a success.

For-Profit Vendors

Small Businesses + Entrepreneurs

You are the heart of the Makers Market. Whether you’re growing your pop-up shop or building the next local empire, our goal is to help you succeed. Your vendor investment (“rent”) supports event marketing, visitor amenities, and community engagement—driving more traffic, exposure, and ultimately sales for your business. Together, we also contribute to local causes that uplift our community.

Non-Profit Vendors

Community & Charitable Organizations

We believe in supporting those who support our community. That’s why non-profit organizations are invited to participate without a vendor fee. Your presence adds depth, gratitude, and joy to the market experience, inspiring our visitors and strengthening community connections.

Service Providers + Amenities

Non-Competitive Partners

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, we bring in partners who provide essential services and fun activations—like restrooms, safety measures, kids’ activities, and even spaces for sports fans to stay connected. These contributions attract more visitors, enhance the guest experience, and maximize exposure and sales opportunities for our vendors and charities.
