The Mistletoe Market Holiday Arts & Crafts Festival
to
Postell Market Beachview Drive, Saint Simons Island, Georgia 31522
The Mistletoe Market Holiday Arts & Crafts Festival presented by Glynn Visual Arts will take place Saturday and Sunday, December 3-4 in Postell Park on St. Simons Island. This fine art and gift market is in its sixth year and has become a mainstay of the Golden Isles’ holiday festivities. The yarn-bombers will decorate just for the occasion! For the second year, local knitters will be turning Postell Park into its own work of art! Throughout the year they have been working away and will reveal their beautiful work at the opening of the festival. The colorful decorations will only remain in the park for this festival weekend. “This year, we expect over 60 accomplished artists and artisans offering a wide array of quality artwork including two dimensional art, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, photography, woodworking, baskets, fabric and mixed media.” says festival director Hannah Roberts. “This show combines fine art, fabulous gifts, great food, entertainment & family fun in a festive Island holiday atmosphere. It is the perfect opportunity for residents and visitors alike to find that one-of-a-kind purchase or gift for the holiday season. As an added bonus, when you buy something handmade, purchased directly from the artist, you are supporting small business and the local community.” In addition to the vendors, there will be some holiday-themed family entertainment and activities scheduled. There will be a Holiday Hound Hike, where local pooches (and maybe even a potbellied pig!) will get all dressed up in their holiday best and put on a parade to celebrate the season. There will be a Kid’s Creation Station to entertain the smallest artists with free holiday themed craft activities. Some of our favorite local celebrities will be providing live music. And no holiday festival would be complete without a visit from Santa! Plan to come out to the village and take part in the fun! For more information, visit glynnvisualarts.org.
