Our annual holiday event is a celebration of the incredible creative talent that Norfolk has to offer. On Saturday, November 24th, we will transform Colley Avenue into a holiday shopping extravaganza featuring handmade items, DIY workshops, immersive experiences, festive music and much more.

This unique showcase brings together local shopping, amazing food, drinks and fun activities for the whole family. You can shop local for everyone on your list as well as find awesome food and drinks from a variety of vendors. There are fun activities for the little crowd too, including an ornament making station, coloring station and even a Kids Handmade Fair. Plenty of reasons to skip the Black Friday madness and shop local!
