  • Central Ave will remain open to vehicular traffic.
  • 23rd St S, the Cocktail parking lot, and 24th St S (between Central Ave and 1st Ave S) will be closed off for pedestrian traffic, creating space for vendor tents featuring holiday gifts and treats.
  • Brick-and-mortar businesses along this stretch of Central Ave will be festively decorated and hosting activities within their courtyards, providing a joyful experience for shoppers as they stroll.

Market Details:

  • This is a nighttime market, so please bring adequate lighting to showcase your merchandise (holiday lights encouraged!).
  • Power will not be available, so bring battery-operated lights or a quiet inverter generator.
  • Vendor spaces are 10×10 ft.
  • We are looking for gift vendors, treats and sweets vendors, and entertainers.
  • Food trucks will be organized by local brick-and-mortar businesses.
