Tips & Advice
- Arrive early in the day, especially on weekends, to fully experience the market's charm before peak crowds arrive.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on unique handmade items.
- Check the event schedule for specific times of live performances and Santa meet-and-greets to plan your visit accordingly.
- Explore the side streets around Old Town Square for additional local shops and eateries that complement the market experience.
- Dress in warm layers, as the market is primarily an outdoor event, and enjoy the festive atmosphere in comfort.
