A classic European Yuletide village awaits shoppers at an upcoming festive event in Bradenton.
A European Market: The Heart of the Holidays will feature the sights and sounds of a traditional village for five days next month.
A replicated European steam train station with whistles and virtual reality video features will guide attendees through the scenery and buildings of Europe before arriving in the village market.
Artisans will be selling unique holiday gifts, seasonal crafts, treasures, and homemade goods. Among the vendors will be fiber artists, jewelers, confectioners, distillers, glass artists, potters, and clothiers.
Food and beverage vendors will be offering international flavors as well as local Florida specialties such as fresh oysters.
Authentic dishes including German pretzels, Belgian waffles, French pasties, mulled wine, and Polish perogies will recreate the culinary flavors of festive international marketplaces.
Presented by the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, the holiday market will also feature hands-on activities such as wreath making, as well as live entertainment. Santa and other festive friends will be available for photos with children.
Community groups that organize special events such as this often use flyer printing as part of their advertising and promotion.
The European Market will be held from Wednesday, December 2 through Sunday, December 6 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm daily at the Bradenton Area Convention Center. Tickets are available online.
