Patchwork Show Long Beach Fall 2023 – RECAP
We kicked off our Fall season of Patchwork Shows this time in Long Beach, CA! We’ve been coming to this Marina location here for many years and we love our Long Beach community! It’s always a party here as this show is the largest of our tour spots, welcoming over 200 vendors and a bike valet for your convenience. We’re proud to offer ample disabled parking inside the show at this location. Because this is our largest show with the most vendors and guests we also get very excited to see all our doggie friends, too! And this season was no disappointment. We had dog friends show up in costume as it was Halloween weekend! Woot!
The morning started off chilly and windy but the afternoon treated all of our guests and vendors to some sunshine. So many stations for making fun crafts, meeting up with friends, and kicking off holiday shopping by supporting local makers.
This season, guests lounged at tables in the slightly overcast day enjoying their snacks and lunch from our food trucks: Carmen’s Coffee, Italian Burger & Grill, Thai-Mex Cocina and Monkey Business Cafe. Many ate lunch or took a break from shopping to watch our musical entertainment, The Fallen Stars and Rodney Rozelle play in the soft breeze of the afternoon. Our Long Beach show has the most activities and DIY stations and this season we had a couple of stand out stations that were inspiring kids and grown-up kids alike to make something fun!
