  Admission is $5 at the gate, children 5-and-under are free!

Whether as a shopper or a vendor, we hope you’ll join us under the twinkly lights to support small, local businesses and celebrate community. We are currently seeking volunteers to join us for this cheer-filled event! We are looking for support in a variety of roles in order to keep the event running smoothly."
