If you’re looking for a new way to soak up the cheer of the holiday season, the Deer District Holiday Market, presented by Deer District BID #53, is slated to bring plenty of sparkle to the Plaza at Fiserv Forum.
Running Nov. 21-30 (with a Thanksgiving pause on Nov. 28), the market is set to debut with a handpicked lineup of local vendors, twinkly photo ops, and seasonal sips and bites from Deer District favorites.
It’s free to wander, shop, snack and snap some holiday-perfect pics — and it just might become your new winter tradition.
Vendors interested in getting in on the fun can fill out the Holiday Market Vendor Application online.
