Holy City Holiday Market
Because waiting until the last minute never looked this good
Let’s be clear: at Fig Magazine Charleston, we do not officially endorse last-minute holiday shopping. However, if you find yourself in the Charleston area the weekend before Christmas with a list that’s still… shall we say…robust… consider this your seasonal stroke of luck. Some of Park Circle’s most beloved venues are joining forces to host the Holy City Holiday Market, and it promises to be a festive, glittering whirlwind.
Presented by The Event Cooperative, your local one-stop-event-planning-shop, the Holy City Holiday Market began humbly in 2015 with 16 vendors gathered for a small, seasonal pop-up. Fast-forward to today, and the celebration has blossomed like your Christmas cactus into a three-day holiday extravaganza (Friday, December 19–Sunday, December 21) spread across four venues—Holy City Brewing, The Porter Room, Firefly Distillery, and The Station Park Circle. With 200+ local makers, artists, and small businesses, plus ticketed experiences sprinkled throughout, it’s a one-stop shop for gifts suited to every person, style, and wish list.
Fuel your shopping with food and festive beverages available at each venue. Grab a cozy meal in the Holy City Brewing Taproom, wander the Firefly Vendor Village for food trucks and craft cocktails, or simply follow the scent of holiday treats drifting through each market. Family-friendly activities, entertainment, and kids’ experiences round out the seasonal cheer.
Worried about bouncing between venues? Don’t be. Rudolph and the gang have the transportation covered with a free hop-on, hop-off shuttle looping through all four locations. No sleigh required.
Visit the event website for a full vendor list and schedule, and may your final shopping weekend be merry, bright, and surprisingly successful.
