Knitting needles and bass drops are sharing the same room again on Capitol Hill. Craft Rave Seattle returns for its third edition this Sunday, Nov. 15, at Stoup Brewing, running from 2 to 6 p.m.
The event requires advance ticket purchase through a listing on Luma and is billed for attendees 16 and older. The third event is at the Capitol Hill brewery at 1158 Broadway. Seattle’s first Craft Rave was hosted at Stoup in May 2026.
A Separate All-Ages Arts Space
Seattle’s Vera Project offers a different model from Craft Rave Seattle’s 16-and-older brewery event. The separate organization describes itself as an all-ages nonprofit space for music and art, with a music venue, screen-print shop, recording studio and art gallery, according to The Vera Project.
A Seattle Collective Behind the Format
Craft Rave Seattle is associated with MMBASSY, a Seattle-based collective.
The Luma listing encourages attendees to bring their own projects — knitting, crocheting, embroidery, beading, painting and jewelry-making are all welcomed — and says crafting experience is not required to show up. A separate community post on Capitol Hill Seattle describes the broader format simply: people knit, crochet, embroider, bead, sketch, or work on creative projects while DJs play dance music, with attendees encouraged to move freely between crafting, dancing and socializing.
An Afternoon Format With Room to Make Things
The afternoon format invites attendees to move between crafting, dancing and socializing.
Similar Gatherings Beyond Seattle
Craft-rave events have also been reported in Toronto. Capitol Hill Seattle’s community post cites Toronto among cities with similar gatherings; in Toronto, the Crochet + Knit Collective hosts events where people work on projects as a DJ plays music. Streets of Toronto reported that every event since the collective’s inaugural November 2025 rave sold out quickly, with some tickets gone in under two hours.
Coverage has also documented craft-centered social events in Portland. The Press Herald reported on a Portland Craft Social.
Back on Capitol Hill, Stoup Brewing has marketed its own Craft Rave installments in similarly welcoming terms — the May gathering was billed as Seattle's first-ever Craft Rave, designed to be beginner-friendly, low-pressure and welcoming to everyone, while the August follow-up invited guests to bring a portable craft, grab a beer, and enjoy an afternoon of live DJs, creativity and community. Sunday's edition brings the event back to Capitol Hill.
