Sponsorship Opportunities

re:Craft and Relic host several events throughout the year.

Our traditional markets , which we've hosted at the Milwaukee County Sports Complex since 2015, are each a two-day, ticketed shopping event featuring handmade goods, curated vintage collections, artisan foods and local boutiques.

This event takes place three times a year in Franklin at the Milwaukee County Sports Complex and includes 160-180 vendor booths, live music, food trucks and mobile boutiques.

With a growing attendance average of 4,000-5,000 shoppers, we’re excited to connect them to local businesses in the area.

re:Craft and Relic's MKE County Sports Complex events are the largest market of its kind in Southeastern Wisconsin.

We also host events like Make Art MKE on the grounds of Mount Mary University (160+ artists with 2,400+ attendees), plus new events like our Handmade Holiday Mini Market and our Night market at the Franksville Craft Beer Garden.

Upcoming Dates:

• Fall at the Fairgrounds October 5th, 2025

• Holiday Market November 8th & 9th, 2025

Sunday Swag Bag Sponsor:

The first 50 shoppers in line on Sunday morning will receive a swag bag filled with items from area businesses.

We are looking for donations of 50 coupons, 50 samples or 50 promotional freebies (magnets, stickers, pens, etc.)

Hourly Raffle Sponsor:

Throughout each event, re:Craft and Relic gives away hourly raffle prizes to shoppers in attendance.

We are looking for single donations of a gift card ($20-50), a complimentary service, a pair of tickets to your venue, etc.

Premier Giveaway Sponsor:

Leading up to each event, we run 1-2 contests for large scale giveaway packages that include tickets to our upcoming event.

We are looking for single donations of a gift package with a value of $200+, especially something that could be used by the winner the weekend of our event. Dining, hotel stays, salon services, activities, etc. that could be a wonderful part of the winner’s shopping weekend. Most attendees of our event come in groups or with a significant other, so packages for 2 or 4 would work well.

The entire purpose of our event is to provide a platform where local creatives, makers, and small businesses can connect with shoppers in a fun and unique way.

While our event is focused on vintage and handmade sellers, we see the value in the surrounding businesses in the community and want to shine a light on you as well. Small businesses are vital and we know our attendees will love the products and services you offer.

All Sponsors will be featured on our website, mentioned in social media posts leading up to the event, and on signage at the event.

Premier Sponsors will also be prominently featured on our social media accounts for several days during that sponsor’s giveaway.

You’ll be contacted ahead of the event to arrange a date/time to pick up your donation and we’ll get you some promotional materials to place on your counter or hang in your window.
