Attendees could stroll through the market to grab a bite to eat, a drink from the taproom, or some sweet treats while they enjoy music from live bands. Organizers say events like these give the community a chance to shop local and support one another.
“The holiday season is hard for everybody, especially for small businesses, and you know, just giving them another platform to sell their wares and get the word out about their business is, you know, that’s the gift to me at that point, is just helping people out,” said event host Taylor Drob.
