9 Holiday Artisan Markets & Boutiques in Westchester
It’s that time of year again – when people make their shopping checklists and shower loved ones with gifts that will set them apart from the others. Unfortunately, creativity can only go so far on Amazon. That’s where the arts come in. Holiday boutiques and markets throughout the county offer ways to shop local, support the arts, and give a gift that is truly unique. Dates and times vary, so readers should check with presenters when attending an event.
Pro Tip: ArtsNews also has guides for holiday events and Nutcracker productions!
