The Alternative Gift Fair began in December 2007 and was originally held at the Earth House Collective space in downtown Indianapolis. What began as a traditional ‘alternative’ gift fair has grown into a handmade, locally produced fair that encourages shoppers to be ‘alternative’ and skip the big box stores for their gift buying purchases. Our holiday and mother’s day shows are both held at The Irving Theater, 5505 E Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46219 from 10am – 4pm.
