Experience the Magic of the Horton Christmas Market The Horton Christmas Market is returning on November 16, and at 10 Manitoba Street in St. Thomas, it’s set to be a day filled with festive cheer and local charm. From 10 am to 4 pm., the market will showcase nearly 100 local vendors, all from within a 60 km radius of St. Thomas. The vendors will offer handmade crafts, farm-fresh produce, holiday trees, and much more. Sarah Noble, Manager of Marketing and Communications for the St. Thomas Economic Development Corporation, highlights the special nature of the event. “The Horton Christmas Market is part of what really kicks off the St. Thomas and Elgin County holiday season. It’s long been a favourite holiday experience for the community and carries so much of the essence of the Horton Farmers’ Market, but dressed up for the holidays!” With a deep-rooted commitment to local farmers and artisans, the market offers a truly homegrown experience. “Our focus remains on farmers and primary producers, meaning that our vendors still need to grow or make the overwhelming majority of what they bring to the market to sell.” This beloved community tradition, which takes place the day after St. Thomas’ Light Up Talbot, serves as the perfect segue into the holiday season. According to Sarah, visitors can expect a variety of festive features. “There will be live music, Christmas trees -- folks can get cozy by a fire pit… and maybe a visit from Santa, too! Our Horton Market team is dreaming up more holiday fun too!” The festive atmosphere is what sets the Horton Christmas Market apart, creating a warm and cozy environment despite the crisp November air.

Sarah explains: “It’s an incredible local market that truly believes in ‘local’ and supporting farms and artisans. For our regular Horton shoppers, there are a ton of familiar faces, but we also welcome some vendors just for the Christmas market – it’s the only one they come to, but they come every year!” When asked about her favourite part of the event, Sarah doesn’t hesitate. “Oh, the atmosphere has got to be it for me. It feels like a Christmas movie set! It makes you want to bundle up and brave the cold (if it’s cold), knowing it will keep your spirits warm!” For those who have never attended, Sarah offers an enthusiastic invitation. “The Horton Christmas Market is really one of those things you have to experience. It’s bustling but slow. It’s magical, but so, so real, all at the same time.”
