‘Tis the season for holiday craft fairs and Christmas markets, where an abundance of handmade goodies are presented by local makers across Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Whether it’s sweet-smelling soaps, doll clothes, felted garments, or specialty foods, there are many options for everyone on your Nice list. In addition to supporting local makers, purchases often benefit local charities, such as schools and community organizations.

We’ve gathered up some of our favorite holiday craft fairs and Christmas markets across the area, some of which offer the added appeal of refreshments, ornament making, and pictures with Santa. Looking for more holiday activities? Check out our Event Calendar and sign up for our newsletters!
