Red Deer prepares for holiday shopping pop-up
While the 2025 winter holiday season may be months away, but Red Deer small businesses have been offered the opportunity to prepare in advance and reserve a space in a festive event.
A Westerner Christmas will be a two-day pop-up celebration, and it will be held at Westerner Park. Both days will run for six hours, and along with the shopping, there will be other fun on the agenda.
Those who attend the gathering will be able to browse through a wide assortment of gift ideas, and many of them will be handmade and unique. At least 200 vendors are expected to be on site, and on one of the days, complimentary Santa pictures will be available, courtesy of Rachel Peterz Photography. Mrs. Claus will be with him to meet the kids as well. A door prize draw for a prize with a value of $5,000 is in the works.
While this activity will not take place until December, its seller application system is already open via the Mom Market Collective website. A community market may be a value sales opportunity for the businesses that participate, and business cards and other marketing materials can be ordered from area printers.
These two days of holiday shopping are scheduled for December 14th and 15th. Entry will be free of charge, and both days will begin at 10:00 am.
