Have you done your holiday shopping yet? You may want to set aside some time and money to support local artisans who are making some of Los Angeles' most delicious edibles at the Artisanal LA Holiday Pop-Up Shop. Sunday's event is bringing together over 50 vendors, including the Altadena Urban Farmers Market (currently on hiatus) and demos and workshops from Joseph Shuldiner's Institute of Domestic Technology.
$5 gets you in the door, as well as the chance to catch some workshops and demos, sample craft beer, local wine, coffee, and Honest Tea beverages. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the host venue, the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena.
There are some great vendors in the line up, including some Artisanal veterans and crowd pleasers, like Cast Iron Gourmet, I Heart Pies, Creme Caramel, and more. Jellies, sauces, teas, sweets, and lots of other eats will be up for sale and suitable for stuffing stockings...or your own face.
Pre-sale tickets are on sale now on Eventbrite and include a tote bag for the first 500 attendees. Tickets will also be available at the door. Cash only.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
