Whether you're searching for the perfect holiday gift or just want to see what our local makers have been creating, we invite you to stop by, explore, and celebrate the season with us. It's a great opportunity to support our local creative community and keep holiday shopping dollars right here in Skagway!

We recognize the deep and ongoing connection the Tlingit people have to this place—its land, waters, and community—and honor their history, culture, and contributions, both past and present.
As an organization committed to supporting a strong and resilient community, we acknowledge the importance of listening, learning, and fostering respectful relationships with Indigenous communities.
