With 108 vendors accepted, this year’s Very Merry Christmas Market hosted by Travelers Rest Farmers Market will be the its largest-ever event. Travelers Rest Farmers Market hosts its annual Very Merry Christmas Market on the second Saturday in December following the downtown Travelers Rest Christmas Parade.
The parade ends at Trailblazer Park, where the market is hosting local artisans, farmers and specialty food vendors.
This year’s market will be held from 12:00-4:00 on December 10, 2022 at Trailblazer Park in Travelers Rest. Santa Claus will be available for pictures with market attendees in the amphitheater. Live music will be provided by Justyn Fox. The Noodle Lady food truck will also be providing food, and drinks will be available for purchase from Happy Tappy Camper.
“Our Travelers Rest Farmers Market continues to excel at bringing artisans and farmers to the city,” said Brandy Amidon, mayor of Travelers Rest. “This news is a major indicator of their success as vendors want to be in Travelers Rest! Our community rallies behind the market all year long for good reason; it’s the best shopping and community experience around!”
Travelers Rest Farmers Market’s producer-only status means that every product at the market was grown or made by the vendor selling it within fifty miles of Trailblazer Park, where the market is held. Only two exceptions are made to this policy: a fish vendor from the coast and a maple syrup vendor from Pennsylvania. Products ranging from kohlrabi to bow-ties to olive oil to cutting boards can be found at this year’s market. A full list of vendors can be found on the market’s website.
“Some of the most talented makers and growers are hidden throughout our region. We are honored to be able to gather them all under one roof for this special celebration. You might find it feels a lot like coming home for the holidays,” said TRFM’s executive director, Maranda Williams.
