The holiday season is HERE, and Downtown Brattleboro Alliance, in partnership with Brattleboro Flea, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated Market on Main! The market will be popping up in the former home of Sam's Outdoor Outfitters at 74 Main St. in downtown Brattleboro, which is currently being transformed into a winter wonderland, full of twinkle lights and evergreens. The market opens this Friday and features over 60 local artists, makers, and beloved community vendors throughout the next three weekends, including Beadniks, the renowned bead museum and store that recently closed due to flooding after a fire in their building.
Brimming with local spirit and creativity, Market on Main will open its doors on Gallery Walk first Friday, December 6th and run through the first three weekends in December, bringing a cozy, festive experience to downtown Brattleboro. Visitors can browse unique, handcrafted gifts while savoring warm libations by Saxtons River Distillery, adding a toast to the holiday cheer. Savor treats from Paradox Pastry, Bratt Bakes and delicious Afghan cuisine from Taza naan. There will be a Holiday Tea service hosted by The One Cat on December 15th at noon, as well as a special visit from Santa and Mrs Claus on December 15th from 12-2pm.
Local handmade gifts for sale include: jewelry, original artwork, ceramics, candles, knitted apparel, woodcrafts, glassworks, cards and prints, silkscreened apparel, home and beauty products, stained glass, everlasting flowers, herbal remedies and much much more!
Shoppers can enjoy gift wrapping by donation, with proceeds benefiting Downtown Brattleboro Alliance programs, including Bloom (the downtown flower project) and Gallery Walk. It's a perfect way to add a festive touch to your gifts while supporting local initiatives.
This holiday season, gather on Main Street for a vibrant, joyful shopping experience that supports local artisans and celebrates the heart of Brattleboro. We look forward to seeing you there!
