The San Marcos Chamber’s Holiday Market is turning North City into a wonderland where North City local artisans are about to make your seasonal shopping absolutely epic. Get ready for a celebration that’s basically like stepping into the most amazing handcrafted holiday bazaar of your dreams.

San Marcos Chamber's Holiday Market

Shop Small, Dream Big

Hold onto your candy canes because 140+ vendors are rolling out the most incredible treasure trove of goodies you’ve ever seen.

We’re talking next-level handcrafted gems that’ll make your gift recipients gasp, beauty products so natural they practically grew in an enchanted forest, home décor that’ll have your Instagram followers begging for tags, and food items that’ll make your taste buds think they’ve died and gone to holiday heaven.

Santa’s sliding into the scene from noon to 3 PM (no chimney required), while live holiday tunes turn the whole place into a winter music festival. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better—”Rescue Row” is here to steal your heart with adorable adoptable pets looking for their holiday miracle.

Speaking of miracles, North City’s food scene is ready to rock your world. Crush those hunger pangs with Buona Forchetta‘s pizza perfection, dive into Draft Republic‘s mind-blowing sliders and fries, or treat yourself to Wynston’s ice cream creations that are basically happiness in a cone.

Maya’s Cookies is bringing vegan magic, Milonga Empanadas has your handheld cravings covered, and J Brix Wines is pouring liquid joy by the glass.

See you there!

The San Marcos Chamber’s Holiday Market and North City local artisans are waiting to blow your mind on December 8, from 10 AM to 4 PM at North City. And because holiday miracles are real, both admission and parking are totally free.

Sprint over to the website here for all the festive details—this is one shopping spree you won’t want to miss!

See you there, San Diego!
