If you want to experience the EPITOME of Christmas magic and a Hallmark movie setting, this market is it.  It was started in 2020 as a way to safely bring people together outside when we couldn't gather inside....what started as a one time event is now one of our most beloved and best attended.  Santa comes, there's children's activities, everyone's in the holiday (and spending!) spirit and it truly is just a magical day from start to finish.  We are so excited to bring new and fun ideas into play!  Regardless of the weather (which can be dicey outside in November) - it's always an amazing turnout!
