October 2 is the first of these that lands after patio season closes, and it does not matter, because this market has always been indoors. That is the quiet advantage of running a 45-booth maker night inside a converted aviation factory. The east metro keeps a real monthly market through the months when the outdoor ones stop.
The October edition runs 6 to 9 PM. Booths cover handmade jewelry, ceramics, woodwork, textiles and original art from local makers, and Stanley lists Cr38ted as the partner behind the booth roster. The hall’s own restaurants and bars stay open through the market, so food and drink come from inside rather than a truck line outside.
Stanley Marketplace is at 2501 Dallas Street in Aurora, a few minutes off I-70, with free on-site parking. Entry is free. The series runs the first Friday of every month, which puts the next one on November 6.
