Urban Craft Uprising is Seattle's largest indie craft show! At UCU, now in its eighth year, fans can choose from a wide variety of hand-crafted goods, including clothing of all types, jewelry, gifts, bags, wallets, buttons, accessories, aprons, children's goods, toys, housewares, paper goods, candles, kits, art, food, and much, much more.

Each show is carefully curated and juried to ensure the best mix of crafts and arts, along with quality and originality. This bi-annual show showcases over 100 vendors excelling in the world of craft, art and design. Over the course of 8 years, UCU has garnered so much attention that nearly 10,000 fans swarm to the show over the course of the weekend.

Hundreds of fans are lined up before our doors open to receive our famous swag bags full of goodies from our vendors and lovely sponsors. Not only can you peruse the aisles full of vendors selling their jewelry, clothing, paper products, toys, homemade food and more, but there are also hourly crafty book signings and demos to check out. This show is free and fun for the whole family! We look forward to seeing you!
