A Little Christmas Magic at Horton Market
Live music will begin at 10 am and continue all day, while returning artist Bronaugh Morgan will share her chalk art. Bonjour & Yum will roast chestnuts, with proceeds supporting a local charity. The market will also be a licensed event, with mulled wine from Hounds of Erie and beer from Caps Off and Railway City Brewing. For Monique, the celebration means much more than checking gifts off a list. “These vendors put so much time, creativity and care into their products, and the Horton Christmas Market gives them a platform to showcase that work and connect directly with the people who appreciate it.” Together with Light Up Talbot on Friday night, the market helps usher in the holidays. “To me, with Light Up Talbot Friday night and the Horton Christmas Market Saturday, that’s the kick-off to the Christmas Season,” says Monique. “There is a sense of connection and community.” Visitors are reminded that overflow parking is available at 800 Talbot Street, along with City parking lots and street parking. Please do not park in the Food Basics or Bulk Barn lots. Bring your shopping list, your appetite and Christmas spirit, and enjoy a day celebrating the people who make shopping local so rewarding.
Christmas shopping comes with a helping of community spirit at the Horton Christmas Market, returning Saturday, November 14, from 10 am to 4 pm at Horton Market, 10 Manitoba Street in St. Thomas. Now in its sixth year, the annual family-friendly event will welcome more than 110 local food and artisan vendors, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to find something special for the people on their Christmas lists. “The Horton Christmas Market is a very well-attended annual event that market-goers and vendors look forward to each year,” says Monique Clark, Horton Market Coordinator. “It’s being part of a market community that believes in shopping local.” Shoppers can browse baking, woodworking, pottery, knitting and crocheting, produce, meats and cheeses, and much more. Whether your list calls for a handmade gift or something delicious for holiday entertaining, there will be plenty to explore. There is also good reason to arrive hungry. Ready-to-serve food vendors include The Galley 519, Bonjour & Yum, Lotus Thai and Taco House Co., offering options for breakfast, lunch or a snack between shopping stops. Families will find a new addition this year: a free ornament- making station for children. Free face painting will also be available, and Santa will be at the market throughout the day. A festive selfie station offers another opportunity to capture a holiday memory.
