2026 Nautical Market at the Museum
May 9 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
The Maritime Museum of Sandusky is pleased to introduce a new spring tradition—the Nautical Market at the Museum—taking place on Saturday, May 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., inside the Museum’s campus of historic buildings.
Reimagined as an artisan and nautical market, this new event builds on the Museum’s long-standing commitment to community gatherings while offering a refreshed, thoughtfully curated experience. The Market brings together artists, makers, vintage and antique dealers, and specialty vendors featuring handcrafted goods, nautical collectibles, maritime art, décor, books, and coastal-inspired finds.
Held in a weather-protected, indoor setting, the Nautical Market invites visitors to browse, discover, and enjoy the Museum in a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Vendors and guests alike will be part of an event designed to celebrate craftsmanship, maritime heritage, and the small businesses that help keep those traditions alive.
Whether you are joining us as a shopper, a returning supporter, or a first-time vendor, the Nautical Market at the Museum offers a fresh way to connect with maritime culture and our community.
Vendor applications are now being accepted, with space available on a limited basis.
