Humane Holiday Market

Join us Saturday January 3, 2026 from 2 pm to 5 pm at Sanger Hall for the very first Humane Holiday Market hosted by artists and organizers CHANT3L and Lailani Gibson

Come as you are for a low pressure, community centered shopping day featuring free entry, pay what you can tables with high quality items, a community swap table for gift giving, affordable local food, live music, and a special performance.

This Humane Holiday Market is about repairing our relationship to community and care through resource sharing, honest connection, and access to holistic wellness. Pull up, meet your neighbors, and leave with gifts, support, and new people in your corner.

If you would like to donate clothing for the event, please contact Lailani Gibson at lailanigibson.com.

Gentrification Notice: Focus on enjoying the day and capturing the event itself, not the neighborhood, so we can honor the people who live here and keep this community protected.
