The Artisan Market is one of our favorite traditions to kick off the Christmas season. This free, family-friendly event provides a unique opportunity for people to support local businesses and artisans during the Christmas season. The Artisan Market is committed to providing a fun, warm, and friendly environment for families and friends to come hang out and purchase with a purpose - each year a percentage of every purchase made goes to support a local St. Louis nonprofit organization.

The 2024 Artisan Market will take place on Friday, December 6th from 6:00-9:00pm. Inside we'll have live Christmas music, activities for kids, and local artisans selling a variety of goods. Outside there will be s'mores, an outdoor Christmas movie, and local food trucks to enjoy.
