SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — On Saturday a popular Scranton shopping destination was full of festive flair.
From 12pm to 5pm, the Marketplace at Steamtown held its Holiday market on the second floor. Small businesses from all over Nepa flooded the space to sell everything from stickers, to clothes, to prints, and more. Shoppers were able to get a look at local business while also getting into the holiday spirit. For the over 50 vendors, it was a great chance to show off their products and connect with other owners.
“It’s rewarding,” explained Christine Medley, owner of Pro Designs Letterpress Studio, one of the vendors at the market. “And I know a lot of the people, so its great to see them. I’ve done other vendor events and we know each other. We, you know, get to reconnect. And then that it’s inspiring to see what people come up with. A lot of creativity and yeah, it’s just a fun, it’s a fun day.”
While the market ran, shoppers listened to live music and even had run ins with the grinch as they shopped. If you missed the holiday market, a second one is being held closer to Christmas in December.
