The event will include a large heated tent with a food court for enjoying food truck purchases and marketplace for some holiday shopping.
Friday night, “Arts & Eats After Dark,” will be a 21+ evening, with a hot wine (Gluhwein), eggnog, and beer area, live music, and a special holiday photo booth, in addition to the food trucks and arts market. 

Saturday and Sunday will feature an array of family-friendly activities including photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, gingerbread cookie decorating, a community stage with, of course, the food trucks and arts market.

The event runs Friday from 6-10pm and Saturday and Sunday from 11am-6pm.  Admission will be only $5. Children under 12 are free.
