Holiday Market and Festival of Trees: Highlighting Local Vendors and Festivities

CHAMPAIGN, IL – The 2024 Holiday Market and Festival of Trees is set to feature over 50 local vendors offering a wide selection of holiday gifts, handmade crafts, artisanal foods, and festive décor. Taking place on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the iHotel and Conference Center, the event promises to be a vibrant shopping experience just in time for the holiday season.

Vendors will showcase unique, locally crafted items, ranging from handmade ornaments, jewelry, and candles to gourmet holiday treats and custom décor. For those looking for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts, this event is an ideal stop. Local businesses, artisans, and creators will offer attendees a chance to find personalized presents and support the community by shopping small.

One of the main highlights of the event is the Festival of Trees, which will feature beautifully decorated Christmas trees designed and donated by local organizations and individuals. Attendees can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of the stunning trees, all while supporting a great cause. Proceeds from the raffle go directly to the Junior League of Champaign-Urbana, which funds educational and family support initiatives in the community.

Family-friendly activities are also scheduled throughout the day, ensuring fun for attendees of all ages. Children can participate in crafts and holiday-themed games, while adults can enjoy shopping and taking in the festive ambiance.

Vendors still have the opportunity to register for booth spaces, and early sign-ups are encouraged due to limited availability. The event not only allows vendors to reach a broad audience during the bustling holiday season but also contributes to a philanthropic cause.
