“We hated to have to close last year, but the safety of our residents and visitors was our top priority,” Mayor Jim Brainard said. “We are thrilled that this incredible attraction, that visitors from all over the Midwest have enjoyed by the tens of thousands, is back and will be live this coming holiday season.”
This year’s Market will feature a wide variety of food and gift vendors, activities, and special guests throughout the season. More information regarding specific vendors and new features will be available early this fall.
