Level Up Local: Free Shop-Local Event at 1-Up Wellness in Utica, Oct. 24

An early start on holiday shopping where your money stays with Utica makers, plus samples and snacks, all free to walk in.
Level Up Local runs Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 1-Up Wellness, 2428 Chenango Road in Utica. Admission is free and it's open to everyone, per the Utica Phoenix and Lite 98.7.
This is the first time 1-Up Wellness has hosted it. The idea is simple: local makers, small businesses and entrepreneurs set up under one roof, and you get to shop their products and meet the people who make them.
