FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
The holiday season is here!
But if hitting the mall is your idea of a nightmare, or, if you’re set on shopping local this season, then these festive marketplaces, pop-ups, and sales are just your ticket.
Some are even al fresco, meaning you can shop with the wind in your hair and your mittened hands wrapped around a cup of hot cocoa (or mulled wine).
