A Very Merry Holiday Market Mixer

Taking place during First Fridays Art Walk and the inaugural Holiday Market at Studio Park, A Very Merry Holiday Market Mixer invites guests to step inside The Arts Marketplace for a festive evening of hands-on gift-making, personalized keepsakes, seasonal activities, and holiday cheer.

Hosted by Books in the City, this unique holiday experience features opportunities to create two custom candles with Gracewood Candles, personalize an engraved gift with JaroviFrang, build a literary-inspired stocking stuffer collection, pose for a professional holiday portrait, write and mail holiday postcards, and create a holiday wishlist filled with favorite discoveries from the evening.

Guests can also participate in the Merry Makers Passport, an interactive experience that encourages exploration of artists, makers, and businesses throughout The Arts Marketplace while earning entries into holiday giveaways.

Throughout the evening, attendees will enjoy seasonal refreshments, a curated holiday soundtrack, and opportunities to discover unique gifts, artwork, books, and handcrafted goods from local creatives.

Whether you're creating gifts for loved ones, gathering with friends for a festive night out, or looking for a new holiday tradition, A Very Merry Holiday Market Mixer offers a memorable way to celebrate the season while making, creating, and discovering something special.
