Mimosas, hot cocoa and more cash-bar beverages will be served to shoppers, and a food truck will be on-site, as well. Several vendors also donated gifts to raffle off as door prizes, with winners announced and notified at the end of the event.

“Vendors across the state of Louisiana and local shoppers alike have been looking forward to the Christmas Market,” Fryer said. “Shopping locally at events like the Christmas Market is so impactful. Patronizing local small businesses is always important, and attendees will leave with treasures that can’t be found elsewhere or at big chain stores. We’re thrilled to host this event for the first time and can’t wait to see the turnout.”
