This November we're honored to join KUBO in co-hosting their monthly Merkado for a gratitude-themed makers market in Long Beach. We're bringing together a community of makers for a day rooted in thankfulness — for the makers who pour themselves into their craft and the community that keeps showing up.

Giving back is built in. This edition of Merkado benefits the KUBO Organizing Project (KUBO-OP), KUBO's non-profit sibling, which supports creative Filipinx community development in Long Beach through community-led research, intergenerational programming, and cultural enrichment. Every maker pledges a portion of their day's sales to KUBO-OP, so the more we sell together, the more we give together.

What you need to know:

• Tabling fee: $75 for a 6ft table space

• Charity pledge: 10% minimum of your sales, donated to KUBO-OP

• Bring your own setup: makers are responsible for their own 6ft table and chairs
