We went yesterday (Friday June 10th) and it wasn’t open, just a big empty parking lot. Too bad. We wondered if Covid shut it down, or because no cruise ships were in the harbor.

We went into Georgetown specificaly for Cayman Craft Market. When we went in, there were very few vendors and little merchandise. We really wanted to buy something made by an artisan on the island, but left empty handed. If you go during the peak season, it might be better.

My daughter bought a beautiful painting that the artist painted right there on the spot for her and I bought a resin plaque that has some sand in it and it looks like a aerial beach scene. I would recommend stopping by here and having a look at items that are not in all the gift shops

This is a wonderful place to get the feel of Caymanian's heritage and how they live, this shows their crafts and how they use the natural resources to make a living.

I was a little disappointed as the pics are great. However, it's really a small market, but the locals who are there are very friendly and great to chat with. I expected more handmade stuff, but not as much as I thought. I did buy some prints. I hate when you see the original artwork but then are sold a print. I went ahead and bought some, but would rather have originals. You might find a cheap shirt or bracelet. If room allows the there's a lady who handweaves baskets and purses. I didnt have room as I'm doing a carry on only, but she's worth a look at. It sits on the corner across from the water down past Kirk Freeport and Atlantis office. It's just one big tent with about 12-15 vendors. Maybe it's bigger during high season? IDK. Anyway if time permits go there. If not the shopping boutiques in the port area aren't badly priced anyway.

Stopped by early in the morning before the cruise ship crowd and met two wonderful vendors named Janet and Rosemary. Janet braids thatch onsite and I purchased one of her beautiful hand made hats. Prices are reasonable and the service is provided with a smile. Also bought a beautiful Caymanite necklace from Rosemary. Rosemary is a dear- we had great conversation and she even corded my necklace again when I told her that I wanted it to be longer. Definitely two gals you must see. The market is small but good quality items specially at these two booths. Small chickens sometimes run around but where is that not the norm in Cayman! Fun time.

there are a handful of vendors with booths/tables set up. Several of the items are homemade. Cayman Drift is fantastic! Super friendly and she repurposes pods from mahogany trees, pallets, shells, etc for her art! We ended up buying 3 of her pieces. Everything she had was unique. It's not far from Hard Rock if you're around that area, definitely check them out

Is the craft market open every day or just on cruise ship days?
