Market season is our favorite season. It's the only time you can hold a Candera candle in your hands before it comes home with you — turn it in the light, find the pressed flower inside, and smell every blend side by side.
Here's everywhere we'll be between now and the holidays. The events page always has the latest details, including maps and any last-minute changes.

What to expect at the table
Every market booth carries the full current collection, plus a few market-only pieces that never make it online:
- Pressed-flower pillars and one-of-a-kind botanical designs
- Seasonal scents poured in small batches for that month's market
- Hand-written intention cards with every candle
- The maker herself — bring your questions about wax, wicks, and botanicals
If you can't make a market, the collection is always open, and every candle links straight to our Etsy shop.
