Seasonal Markets Planned Across US, UK

Several seasonal markets are offering shoppers handmade goods, vintage finds and festive activities. Liverpool’s free Dream Train Market will bring nine independent sellers of vintage clothing, accessories and homeware to The Bluecoat, with local designers and vinyl DJs also featured. In Joliet, Chicago Street Markets is seeking vendors for two weekends of downtown holiday shopping featuring handmade goods, treats and gifts. West Sussex’s Winter Fair will pair independent retailers and seasonal food stalls with family activities including Santa’s grotto, glassblowing, wreath-making and chocolate workshops. A Texas Christmas market also evokes European holiday traditions with lights, mulled spices and handmade gifts.
