Tips & Advice

  • Dress for being outside, because most of the market is outdoors in the mountain air, with a fire to warm up by.
  • Bring the little ones ready for photos, since Santa visits with kids and poses for pictures during the market.
  • Come hungry, because cocoa, cider, lunch and treats are on hand while Riddle on the Harp plays holiday music.
  • Vendors who want an indoor spot should enter the lottery on their application, because only seven indoor spaces in the Community Room are available.
