Artisans to gather with goods, goodies at Madison Harvest Holiday Market
MADISON – Madison Harvest Holiday Market will open with artisans of goods that will decorate homes and goodies that will treat anyone who enjoys homemade sweet and savory bites.
Madison Christian Church at 1400 Hughes Road will host the market on Nov. 14. The event will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shoppers will be happy with free admission, and everyone is welcome.
The market will give shoppers a headstart on finding Christmas gifts . . . or even a purchase to brighten their own homes. “Join us for a fun family-friendly day with delicious food, handmade products, live music and lots of activities for kids,” a spokesperson said.
From the food inventory, shoppers can browse the European- and German-style bakery, including fresh German bread and traditional sweets. American bakery items and homemade treats will be difficult to resist. Honey from nearby bees will be sold.
Local hens have been busy to provide fresh, farm eggs. Youngsters will have fun while seeing and interacting with baby chickens. Booths for children and amusing activities for them will be set up both inside and on the grounds. Face painting can transform kids into a princess, a heroine, a superhero or a scary figure. A 3D printer will produce some of the toys.
Most merchandise at the Madison Harvest Holiday Market has been created by hand – no mass production. Candles, creams, body products, fragrances, jewelry and accessories, toys, knitted wear and novelty items, crafts and accessories will be available.
Hungry? Have a snack, dessert and beverage from onsite food trucks and drink vendors.
For entertainment at the market, live music from vocalists and performances by children will keep a pleasant atmosphere. Some children will perform on violin and a guitarist will entertain.
Some talented youth will visit from Birmingham to play music at the market and help support Ukraine. All donations will benefit Ukrainians with food and medicine.
Organizers encourage residents to bring the family, enjoy great food, listen to live music, shop local, let the kids play and create and support the community. Everyone is welcome.
In addition, coordinators hope that any vendors interested in participating will email madisonhuntsvillemarket@ gmail.com and request an application.
