Meet the Makers Behind the Magic!

   The Mistletoe Maker’s Market is more than a holiday shopping event, it’s a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. This year, we’re thrilled to showcase an incredible lineup of artisan vendors who bring unique, handcrafted treasures to our community.

   From stunning jewelry and cozy textiles to festive décor and one-of-a-kind gifts, each maker adds their own special touch to the season. When you shop at the Market, you’re not just finding the perfect present, you’re supporting local artists and helping keep the spirit of handmade alive.

Give the Gift of Creativity!

    Admission to the Mistletoe Maker’s Market is just $2 per adult—or you can bring art supplies to donate in place of admission! Youth 12 and under are free!

Your contributions help fuel our CAB Kids & heARTworks programs, and our Free Little Art Gallery, providing creative opportunities for all ages. 

    Every donation makes a difference in bringing art to our community. Thank you for helping us keep creativity accessible for everyone!
