New shows this fall for Tortuga Tile Works are Art Sunny Side Up, Arboleda Festival and Revenge of the Tiki 3:Rockabilly vs. Punx. Also on the calendar are some favorites such as Stitch Rock, Downtown Open Market and the Fort Lauderdale Day of the Dead Festival
Art Sunny Side Up plays host this weekend to Indie crafters & their wares from around the state. Find crafts made from recycled items, vintage objects & imagery, punk memorabilia, paint, fabric, thread, and basically anything else that might inspire the DIYer. Oh, and clay, of course! Tortuga Tile Works will be there this Sunday, September 11th from 10 am to 4 pm. It's just three bucks to get in and proceeds go to charity!
Tortuga Tile Works is pleased to return to Stitch Rock again this year! This is the fifth year for this fabulous show! And since it is a birthday party, be sure to dress in your best party attire and enjoy cake and party favors throughout the day! Find amazing handmade crafts and unique products like D.I.Y fashion, funky home deco items, natural bath and body goodies, vintage finds, artwork photography, plus a few surprises up their sleeves for this extra special show. It is on Saturday October 1st from noon to 6 pm, so mark your calendars!
Revenge of the Tiki 3: Rockabilly vs. Punx is in it's third year, but this is the first year for Tortuga Tile Works to be vending. Put on by the folks at Kreepy Tiki Tattoo and the Monterey Club, it not only has some kick ass indie/retro/punk craft vendors, but also an amazing line up of music! Plus you can't go wrong with an event that also boasts the Shimmy Shake Burlesque review, jello wrestling with the Gold Coast Derby Grrls and a skateboarding performance by Sugar's Drop Shop. Yes there is something for everyone at this show! If you came out to Revolution this past March for Kreepy Kraft and liked what you saw there, this will be that plus a whole lot more! Show is on October 8th from 2pm until 4 am. Vendors will most likely close a bit before 4 am, so come early and shop then stay late and party like a rock star.
Boyton Downtown Market is inside at the Boynton Civic Center, Tortuga Tile Works has participated in the very fun Boca Downtown Market before, and has done events in the very friendly Boynton Beach area, so this event is a combination of good things! It is happening on October 16th from 11 am to 6pm.
Preparations are underway for another fantastic Day of the Dead Festival. Featuring an array of talented artists, performers, crafters and revelers, this celebration of the cycle of life and death is not to be missed.The event proper is on November 2nd, which is a Wednesday this year. The Skeleton Processional will start at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art at 6 pm and will lead the festivities to the FAT Village Art District. Once there, you will be astounded by Community Altars, Creepy Bands and Artist Exhibitions . There will also be a preview night for the art exhibition on Saturday, October 29th during the regularly scheduled Fat Village art walk. Tortuga Tile Works and a bevy of other local Day of the Dead craft enthusiasts will be found in the Craft Crypt once again this year. Keep up with which of your favorite vendors will be there on the Facebook event page!
Then heading into the Holiday Season, a new Miami show for us is the Arboleda Festival on November 12th from 10 am to 5 pm. Hosted outdoors in the heart of Miami's Design District, Arboleda will be the first large scale event of its kind in Miami to offer the community and its residents with a culturally creative and artistically eclectic experience; complete with music, gourmet food trucks, live art performances, D.I.Y. workshops, craft activities for kids, and an overall backdrop for creative exchange.
You can always keep up with where we will be on our website event page and in the side bar on the Tortuga Tidings blog.
