Annapolis prepares for premier holiday market

A special shopping experience that features dozens of artisans from the local area and further afield will open December in Annapolis, and it is billed as being one of the area’s premier holiday markets.

Six dates have been set for the Annapolis Holiday Market, where approximately 150 sellers are expected to be on hand, along with a large turnout from the public.

The two high-energy weekends will boast everything from handmade crafts to works of art, treats for holiday parties, and other food, as well as ideas for hostess gifts. Hot chocolate and spiced wine will be flowing, and entertainers will perform live for the crowd. Both parking and admission will be free, and festival foods such as pretzels and German sausages will be available.

To help those who plan on attending the festivities make the most of their visit, the organizers have put together a list of hotels that will be offering booking specials. A brochure printing company can prepare information packets to send out ahead of a special event to let the local business community know how it can get involved by serving as a vendor, sponsor, or in other ways.

The 2026 Annapolis Holiday Market is scheduled for December 4 to December 6, and December 11 to December 13. The venue can be found at 2040 Annapolis Mall Road.
