Christmas Market Champagne Preview Party

Held in the church undercroft, the market offers a wide variety of goods including handmade crafts, plants and bulbs, jewelry, and boutique gifts. Shoppers can explore a tag sale featuring art, home and holiday decor, toys, and housewares, or pick up edible treats such as jams, preserves, and to-go containers of chili and soup. Visitors can also participate in the market's famous cookie walk, with all proceeds dedicated to restoring the parish's 1928 Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ.
