NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The Holiday Fair returned to Grand Central Terminal on Monday after a two-year pandemic hiatus.

"There is nothing like the return of the city's longest-running indoor holiday fair to complete the holiday experience," said Catherine Rinaldi, president of MTA Metro-North Railroad, which operates out of Grand Central.

For the next six weeks, New Yorkers and visitors will be able to browse over 30 local vendors and small businesses in Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall.

As the city's longest-running indoor holiday fair, the event will feature dozens of vendors and small businesses offering a diverse mix of giftable items, including clothing and accessories, original artwork, jewelry, holiday keepsakes and distinctive home décor, self-care products, and handcrafted goods.

The Holiday Fair will run through Saturday, Dec. 24, and will be open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Christmas Eve, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The market will be closed on Thanksgiving.
