The Coraline Inspired Market

The Coraline Inspired Market takes over Market Square Park on Friday, October 16, from 6 PM to 10 PM. It's a pop-up market presented by Houston's for the girls market, and the whole thing is built around the film Coraline.

As a pop-up, it's a one-night-only setup rather than a permanent fixture. The market brings together several artisan small businesses, each with their own table, so you'll find a variety of makers in one spot rather than having to bounce between different shops across town. If you're into the film, the theme will run through the whole thing, and the artisan focus means you're buying directly from the people making the work.

It's held at Market Square Park, 301 Milam St., in the heart of downtown Houston. The 6 PM to 10 PM window puts it right in the evening, so it's an easy stop after work or a way to kick off your Friday night. Since it's a pop-up, it only runs for those four hours, and once it's over, it's gone.

If you're a fan of Coraline or just like browsing local makers, it's a straightforward one to drop into. The market runs from 6 PM to 10 PM on Friday, October 16, at Market Square Park, 301 Milam St., Houston, TX 77002.
