Every holiday season, the Nutcracker Market brings together hundreds of local artisans for a magical shopping experience and it’s returning at the end of the month for its 10th edition.
The market started in 2010 in support of The Nutcracker Fund for Children, and the charity Christmas market has come to symbolize the kick-off of holiday celebrations.
Ten per cent of all exhibitor’s sales go towards the fund and each year gives disadvantaged children a unique holiday experience that includes a free performance of The Nutcracker, animated creative workshops and gifts.
