About this Event

The Grand Central District is getting ready to celebrate the holiday season with the return of its Third Annual Christmas Market on Friday, December 4, from 5–10 PM!

Growing bigger each year, this year's market will span eight blocks of the Grand Central District, from 22nd to 27th Street, transforming Central Avenue sidewalks and surrounding side streets into a festive holiday destination.

Guests can enjoy an evening of holiday shopping with 100+ local vendors, food and drinks from neighborhood businesses, holiday carolers, Santa Claus, and the return of Dog Bar's popular foam snow experience. New this year, the market is adding a little extra holiday mischief with the Krampuses, along with special character appearances by Anna and Elsa!

There's even more holiday magic in the works, including a special illuminated surprise being created at the VFW that guests will have to see for themselves.

Cocktail Collection joins this year's festivities as the Title Sponsor, helping bring the growing community celebration to life.

With more than 3,000 attendees at last year's market, the Grand Central District is looking forward to another memorable evening celebrating local businesses, community, and the magic of the holiday season.
