Glen Cove to Hold Holiday Marketplace Shopping Event

Glen Cove will hold a Holiday Marketplace shopping event featuring local artisans and entrepreneurs in December.

The artisans and bakers will set up at Glen Cove’s City Hall, located at 9 Glen St., on Saturday, Dec. 10 to sell home-made, hand-crafted items and products from home-based businesses. These goodies will allow residents to purchase creative gifts, from jewelry and home décor items to hand-crafted goods and delicious treats.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“In our effort to introduce new community events, we hope the Glen Cove Holiday Marketplace encourages area residents to shop local and make Downtown Glen Cove a frequent destination for great gifts, home décor and essentials,” Mayor Reggie Spinello said in a press release.

The event is hosted by the City and the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District (B.I.D.)

“We see this event as a dynamic opportunity to complement the retail and restaurant offerings of downtown Glen Cove while aligning with artisans, entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations of our City to underscore the importance of shopping small, small business that is,” said Francine Koehler, Executive Director, Glen Cove Downtown B.I.D.

Any local artisans or bakers looking to get table space can download an application here. All completed applications should be emailed to info@glencovedowntown.org. Space is limited and table spaces will be allotted on a first come, first serve basis with “category” exclusives for five-home based businesses. Four community organizations will also have the opportunity to sell beverages, candy, gifts and baked goods for the benefit of their 501C3 group.

Table spaces will cost $25 and all proceeds will be donated to the Senior Activity Generational Endowment (S.A.G.E) supporting the Glen Cove Senior Center, which looks to improve the quality of life of our local seniors.
