Holidays at Market

Back to Normal!

The past two years have changed everything. Our holidays and gatherings were not the same. We hope this year you can safely gather with your friends and family. It’s a nice return to normal. At Market, it brings us joy that we can host you again.

Dressing up the Market

The Central Market Standholder Association will partner once again with LEADS to dress up the Market for the holiday season. The Market is already a special place, these decorations make it even more magical. Come and see the Market in its holiday best.

Mayor’s Tree Lighting

On Friday, November 25, 2022, still around and enjoy your favorite Standholders during the Mayor’s Tree Lighting. Standholders will be set up inside the Market and outside on William Henry Place.

Music on the Mezzanine

The Market Mezzanine is a fantastic location to take a selfie with the Market as your backdrop. But the mezzanine is also a wonderful place to see a performance from local musicians. Stop by on Saturdays in December and be entertained with musical delights.
