Union Square Holiday Market

Despite the year-round farmers' market and frequent special events, at no time of year is Union Square more lively than mid-November through December, when designers, artists and chefs ply their wares in a cosy warren of bright red-and-white-striped tents. This is a one-stop-shopping destination, where you can purchase a variety of jewellery for mom, a handmade leather belt for Dad and a purse created with repurposed materials for your sis. Reward yourself for your shopping prowess by enjoying goodies both sweet and savoury and hot beverages like cider and cappuccino.
