Join us Saturday, November 28, 2026, for a special Holiday Market at The Sunset Market!
This one is all about kicking off the Christmas season, shopping small, and finding gifts that actually have a story behind them.
SHOP LOCAL FOR CHRISTMAS:
Skip some of the big-box shopping and browse local makers, bakers, artists, farmers, crafters, and small businesses instead. You'll find handmade gifts, treats, stocking stuffers, décor, and plenty of things you'll probably end up buying for yourself.
HOLIDAY FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY:
We’re planning festive activities and a few Christmas surprises to make this more than just a shopping trip. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, and make an afternoon of it!
TREATS + GOOD FOOD:
Because no Christmas market is complete without something delicious in your hand while you wander.
MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED!
We're still putting together all the details, activities, food, and holiday magic — so expect plenty more announcements as we get closer.
And because this is the Saturday after Thanksgiving, there couldn't be a better weekend to intentionally put some of that Christmas shopping money back into the hands of people in our own community.
Come shop. Eat something delicious. Find some one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts. Make a memory.
Christmas starts in the meadow this year.
Tag someone who would rather spend their Saturday wandering a Christmas market!
