A lively atmosphere of music, entertainment, glittering lights and family fun will be created.
This inclusive event will host vendors selling holiday themed wares and gifts under the cover of lighted huts and indoor tables. We will have performers in costume and carollers, a Light Tunnel, mulled wine tastings, hot chocolate building station, hot apple cider station, multiple food vendors, Mrs Claus’ Kitchen, Beacon the Elf Toy Workshop and of course SANTA! Proposed food vendors will include seasonal fare.
This seasonal event will support local artisans while providing those in attendance with the opportunity to purchase unique locally made goods for original gifts and stocking stuffers.
