Description
The market will be held at the Chattanooga Convention Center and will feature over 130 vendors. Free shuttle service is available from the First Tennessee Pavilion.
According to market director Tina Harr, the YMCA Christmas Market is a juried event. "We want to bring the very best to this show every year, so the booth applicants are screened to avoid a lot of duplication and to feature the highest quality crafters and specialty shops in the Southeast." Ms. Harr is director of program services for the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga and has directed the Christmas Market for the past 15 years.
One new feature of this year’s market is a series of ongoing demonstrations by various cooks, crafters and artisans. “We’ve found over the years that while market visitors buy many holiday gifts, they also enjoy making gifts for family and friends,” explains Connie Farrar, Christmas Market Chairperson. “This year, we’re offering the best of both worlds by providing a wide array of fine gift items and also giving shoppers many ideas and practical demonstrations on how to make gifts at home.”
The $8 admission to the market entitles the ticket holder to shop all three days of the event. The money raised during the market helps support YMCA youth programs. It also provides scholarships that enable children and teens to participate in other YMCA programs such as inner-city preschool day care, Camp Ocoee and Youth Leadership Chattanooga."
