Lights & Peppermint Market at Liberty Public Market
Liberty Public Market is getting festive with Lights & Peppermint Market, a two-day holiday celebration that combines eat, drink, and shopping with activities designed for all ages. It’s the kind of weekend event that gives you multiple reasons to show up beyond just grabbing a meal.
What’s Happening
The Grinch meet-and-greets give kids (and adults who love the character) photo opportunities with everyone’s favorite green Christmas grouch.
The Ugly Sweater Party brings a DJ spinning holiday tunes, creating an atmosphere that’s more celebration than just shopping. Bring your best worst sweater and lean into the theme – it’s one of those events where participation makes it better for everyone.
Shopping and Sipping
Giftable holiday shopping from local vendors means you can knock out some gift list items while supporting San Diego makers and small businesses. Liberty Public Market already has a strong vendor lineup, and adding holiday-specific shopping creates urgency around finding unique items rather than just browsing what’s always there.
Festive sips range from tastings to seasonal cocktails, giving you options whether you want to sample several things or commit to a full drink. Combined with delicious bites from the market’s eateries, you can make an afternoon or evening of it without needing to leave for food or drinks.
The Liberty Public Market Setting
Liberty Public Market works well for events like this because the space is designed for people to wander, eat, drink, and shop all in one place. The historic setting in Liberty Station adds character, and the indoor/outdoor flow means you’re not stuck in one configuration regardless of the weather.
The two-day format gives you flexibility to choose Saturday or Sunday based on your schedule, or hit both days if you want to experience everything without feeling rushed.
See you there!
