Smyrna Holiday Lights and Market

The tradition of holiday markets dates back to 1393 in Frankfurt, Germany. Advent markets, also known as Christkindl markets or Santa Clause markets, began in Germany but spread quickly throughout Europe. At one time, it was the only place and time of the year to buy Christmas tree ornaments. Throughout December, European old town squares are aglow with lights during these festivals and packed with shoppers, artists and musicians.

The Smyrna Holiday Lights and Market is a new event designed to bring this European tradition to Smyrna. The event will celebrate the holiday shopping and gift giving season by offering a unique and entertaining experience.

The Smyrna Holiday Lights and Market is an open-air market with a holiday themed with up to 100 artists and vendors (painters, potters, sculptors, photography, crafters), unique food offerings, a performance stage for seasonal music and acts, an opening family-friendly night and festive lights.

The Smyrna Holiday Lights and Market will be held from 3pm-9pm on Friday, December 2nd, from noon to 9pm on Saturday, December 3rd and from noon to 7pm on Sunday, December 4th in the Smyrna Market Village and the Smyrna Village Green.
