City Of Rochester Public Market Announces 2020 Holidays At The Market Series With COVID-19 Precautions

Press release from the City of Rochester:

November 20 2020

The seasonal shopping favorite, Holidays at the Market, returns to the City of Rochester Public Market this year for three consecutive Sundays on Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and Dec. 13, from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., along with an evening Market experience on Thursday, Dec. 17, from 6 – 9 p.m. The popular event series will be modified to be in compliance with current COVID-19 guidelines, as well as to help ensure the safety of both shoppers and vendors.

In keeping with tradition, the event will feature dozens of local vendors with fresh cut trees and wreaths, a variety of hand-crafted items, specialty foods and drinks, clothing, jewelry, and much, much more! However, due to the pandemic, entertainment elements have been eliminated from this year’s Holidays at the Market series.

Holidays at the Market is a great opportunity to shop in an open-air setting, while also supporting local, small business owners, many of whom have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vendor spaces for Holidays at the Market are still available. Per stall rates are: $55.00 per Sunday; $155.00 for all 3 Sundays; $ 25.00 for the Thursday evening event; or $ 170.00 for all 3 Sundays and Thursday. Applications are available online at https://https://www.cityofrochester.gov/holidaysatmarket/ or in person at the Market Office, the two-story brick building located in the center of the Public Market at 280 North Union St.

The Public Market requires that face masks or coverings be worn by all shoppers and vendors. Patrons are also encouraged to frequently use the hand sanitizing stations on site and to avoid congregating in large groups.
