’Tis the season for shopping local! I don’t know about you but I love holiday markets. I’m always at a total loss at the mall and don’t know where to start, not to mention the crazy parking.
But local holiday markets? These markets turn everyday venues into one-stop pop-up malls featuring small business owners and their handcrafted goods. You find the most beautiful, unique gifts made locally and I check everyone off my shopping list.
Here’s all the holiday markets in Durham where you can support local this holiday season. Sorted chronologically, so you can shop them all.
