This event includes the official tree-lighting ceremony on the Courthouse lawn, with caroling, festival market for holiday craft shopping, an ice skating rink, a Tuba Christmas concert, shopping with our stellar local merchants and the Chamber Christmas Parade to kick off the festivities.

Cedar Mountain Holiday Artisan Market

Cedar Mountain Holiday Artisan Market

This year marks our 4th Holiday Artisan Market at our distillery in the heart of Cedar Mountain! We are proud to feature artisans in the categories of wood, pottery, baked goods, jewelry made from all kinds of mediums (including moonshine!), painters, home decor, handmade soaps and candles, happy, crocheted creations, and MORE! This year, we are expanding to indoor and outdoor vendor booths! Our indoor booths will be at the Cedar Mountain Community Center and the outdoor booths will be at the Cedar Mountain Moonshine Distillery right across the street. Excited to be able to expand the market experience! And speaking of experiences! Every year at our holiday market, a magical winter scene is set and Santa stops by to chuckle & chat with the kids! Snap a few pictures of those sweet little smiles (or cries) and then have your little one write a letter to send to the North Pole! Like all of our on-site events, it’s free and very family friendly! Thank you for the continued support of our growing, super-talented community of artisans! Looking forward to seeing you on December... Read More
