Winter Wonderland Craft Market

Handmade gifts and holiday decor on display at the Winter Wonderland Craft Market

Behind every table at this market is someone who turned a kitchen-counter hobby into something people wait all year to buy — the potter who started with one wobbly bowl, the candlemaker whose scents sell out by noon, the knitter whose scarves show up wrapped under trees all over town. For one December day, string lights and greenery transform Grand Hall into a market that feels nothing like a big-box store: you'll talk to the actual hands that made what you're holding, hear the story behind the craft, and walk out with gifts nobody else on your list is getting this year. Kids wander wide-eyed between tables of ornaments and treats. A portion of every sale flows back into the job training and mentoring programs that make this community what it is — meaning your holiday shopping list quietly becomes someone else's opportunity. Admission is free; the good feeling on the way out usually isn't optional.
