Join us for our first ever summer craft show at the Akron Zoo!

Step into a vibrant summer celebration at the zoo and discover an eclectic showcase of handmade treasures, one-of-a-kind artworks and crafty creations—all set against the backdrop of curious critters and lush animal habitats.

Browse booth after booth of local artists and crafters, sip on refreshing treats and let the wild energy of the zoo spark your imagination. Whether you’re shopping for something special or simply soaking in the summer vibe, Wild Market is your go-to destination for creativity under the sun.

Bring the whole family, roam with the animals, pick up beautiful finds and let your summer day roam wild.

Due to an overwhelming response, 2026 Wild Market vendor applications are now closed. Applications remain open for our winter shopping event, Shop-A-Holidays.
