Makers Market & Tiny Sidewalk Parade

BONZEYE Tiny Shop is back.
We’re kicking off the 2026 holiday season on Saturday, October 3 with the new and improved Bonzeye Tiny Shop plus small curated maker market in the yard, and whatever other shenanigans we can reasonably pull together.
Tiny Shop will be packed with art, apparel, stickers, books, gifts, hats, mugs, toys, jewelry, note cards and all the other things I apparently cannot stop designing or collecting.
This year, I’m making more room for other Black Hills creatives too.
A handful of local artists and makers will be setting up outside for the kickoff, and the shop itself will feature more work from local musicians, authors and artists throughout the holiday season.
There may be live music. There will probably be snacks. There’s whispers of a tiny parade, whatever we get up to, there will almost certainly be shenanigans.
Saturday, October 3
Noon–5 PM
616 West Street, Rapid City
ABOUT THE MAKER MARKET
The outdoor maker market is weather permitting. If October decides not to cooperate, the market portion will be canceled, but Tiny Shop will still open for the season and the kickoff will still happen.
The market will be small and curated because, as the name suggests, Tiny Shop is actually tiny.
BONZEYE + BLACK HILLS ART BEAT
If you’ve noticed Black Hills Art Beat showing up around Tiny Shop this year, there’s a reason.
They’re both me.
BONZEYE gives me a physical place to help artists sell things. Black Hills Art Beat gives us a way to help people discover the artists behind those things.
Over time, the goal is to connect the two even more, including artist profiles and an interactive in-shop BHAB portal where you can learn about an artist, listen to local music, explore their work and find more ways to support them.
For now, we’re starting with a little shop, a little yard and a handfull of creative people.
Come for the art. Stay for the shenanigans.
Good people. Great art. Massive talent. serious shenanigans & strong community.
