New Show Hours

Offinger's Handcrafted Marketplace
Veterans Memorial Building
300 West Broad Street
Columbus, Ohio

This Gift Show Market is strategically timed right after your busy holiday season, when you and other retailers traditionally restock your empty shelves, look for new exciting sources and buy what's hot for spring.

With special emphasis on quality in all mediums for handmade crafts, gifts, gourmet foods, and furniture, our Show runs in conjunction with the Columbus Mart's dates, making this Marketplace sizzle with not only new talent, but a delicious assortment of new products, as well. And for your convenience, use our free Shop & Drop Storage Area to check your cash & carry purchases, so you can quickly return "hands free" to the Show floor.

The Veterans Memorial Building is easily accessible from all major freeways leading into downtown Columbus and offers plenty of parking via our free parking coupon. Plus, we have negotiated special cost-saving rates with nearby hotels.

Whether you prefer to place orders for future delivery, take merchandise for immediate delivery (cash & carry), or both, our Market is designed to make your buying trip fun and easy:
