A Holiday Pop Up!

The holiday season is just around the corner, and Downtown Brattleboro Alliance, in partnership with Brattleboro Flea, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated Market on Main! This seasonal holiday market will transform 74 Main St. (formerly Sam’s Outdoor Outfitters) into a winter wonderland, featuring over 30 local artists, makers, and beloved community vendors, including Beadniks.

Brimming with local spirit and creativity, Market on Main will open its doors on Gallery Walk first Friday, and include the first three weekends in December, bringing a cozy, festive experience to downtown Brattleboro. Visitors can browse unique, handcrafted gifts while savoring warm libations by Saxtons River Distillery, adding a toast to the holiday cheer. Beadniks, the renowned bead museum and store that recently closed due to flooding after a fire in their building, will make a special appearance. Don’t miss a chance to connect with Brian and the Beadniks team for a truly memorable shopping experience.

Market on Main Schedule:
Fridays & Saturdays: 12 PM – 8 PM
Sundays: 11 AM – 4 PM

Gift Wrapping with a Purpose: Shoppers can enjoy gift wrapping by donation, with proceeds benefiting Downtown Brattleboro Alliance programs, including Bloom (the downtown flower project) and Gallery Walk. It’s a perfect way to add a festive touch to your gifts while supporting local initiatives.
