Entrance to the market on Saturday is free for everyone.
There will be a wide selection of homemade crafts and baked goods, pickles, sauces, and jellies, gently-used books, Christmas wreaths and arrangements, tools and sporting goods, live plants, gently-used children’s clothes and toys, plus much more.
A Preview Party will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 on the night. At the Preview Party you can shop at select booths ahead of time and take part in the Silent Auction.
St. John’s Market has been a tradition at the church since the 1800s and is St. John’s biggest outreach event. Half of the market proceeds go towards community organizations who apply for grants.
