Tobin Center to Host Holiday Art Market and River Parade Viewing Party
More than 80 local artists will sell handmade goods while the parade viewing party marks the 45th Ford Holiday River Parade.
The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is kicking off the holiday season with two festive community events Thanksgiving weekend: a free Holiday River Parade Viewing Party on Friday, November 27, followed by the annual Holiday Art Market on Saturday, November 28.
The Holiday Art Market will take place Saturday, November 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., bringing more than 80 local artists and artisan vendors together for a festive day of shopping and holiday fun. Guests can browse unique, handcrafted goods, including home décor, gourmet treats, accessories, one-of-a-kind gifts, and more—making it the perfect opportunity to shop local and check everyone off their holiday shopping list.
The family-friendly event will also feature photos with Santa, mechanical reindeer, reindeer lawn games, festive food and drinks, holiday music, and plenty of holiday cheer.
Vendor applications are now open for local artists, makers, and artisans interested in participating in this year's Holiday Art Market. Vendors are invited to showcase their unique, handcrafted goods and help the community shop local this holiday season. Link to application.
The holiday festivities begin the evening before with a free Holiday River Parade Viewing Party on Friday, November 27, celebrating the 45th Annual Ford Holiday River Parade. Guests are invited to enjoy the parade from the Tobin Center's Plaza, along with festive treats, convenient parking in the Tobin Center Parking Garage, clean restrooms, and a fun evening for the whole family.
