Pacifica, CA – Celebrating five years of local creativity, Handmade Pacifica is returning to Sanchez Art Center, north San Mateo County’s coastside art gathering venue, on Sunday, July 27, 2025, from 1:00 – 5:00 pm.

Set against the picturesque backdrop at Sanchez Art Center, attendees will be greeted by a bustling scene of tents and tables, each offering a treasure trove of handmade wonders.

Shoppers will delight in the variety of wares, from the brilliance of sea glass jewelry to the craftsmanship of handmade ceramics, leather goods to hand woven textiles, fanciful sea prints and photographic images of our beautiful natural surroundings, and sustainable wood gifts to deliciously rich bath and beauty products. And, for tasty treats, savor the flavors of delectable chutney, jam, chocolate and more available to take with.
