How to Make the Most of Your Holiday Market Day
-
Pick two or three events in one afternoon/evening so you don’t feel rushed.
-
Bundle up early (especially for Luminaria or outdoor markets) and bring water/snacks for little ones.
-
Prioritize markets where the kids can pick one treat or item each so everyone feels involved.
-
For Luminaria: buy tickets ahead, choose a time-slot after dusk, and allow time for slower walking with young children.
-
Use markets to support local makers — many gifts you find here won’t be on big-box shelves.
