It’s that time of year when the struggle to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list becomes really real, and the temptation to just Amazon your cares away looms large. Don’t fill up those virtual carts just yet, friends, because we have a solution for you! Why not find something truly original, even one-of-a-kind, at one of the season’s pop-up holiday markets happening all over the area?
Local artisans and business owners are out there working hard, and making it easy for you, by gathering in one place so you can knock out all your shopping in one go — and enjoy a little seasonal merriment while you’re at it.
