As the Plateau’s golden leaves gave way to crisp mountain air with the arrival of November, the spirit of the Saturday Farmers Market finds a new home indoors – twice this season.
Mark your calendars: on Saturday, November 22, and again on Saturday, December 13, from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., the Highlands Rec Center will transform into a festive haven for local flavor, artistry, and holiday cheer.
These Winter Markets are more than just a seasonal shift – they’re a celebration of community resilience and creativity. Your favorite vendors from the outdoor market (plus a few friendly surprises) will be warm and cozy inside, offering everything from fresh produce and locally made bakery treats to specialty foods, handcrafted gifts, and artful jewelry. The air will be rich with the scent of cinnamon, pine, and something even more familiar: the free cup of Haitian Coffee that’s become a beloved tradition.
Expect to find Haitian metal art gleaming beside Appalachian woodcraft, unique products that tell stories of the Plateau, and neighbors catching up over steaming mugs and shared memories. Whether you’re hunting for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts or simply craving the comfort of community, these markets promise a little magic for everyone.
So bundle up, bring a friend, and step into the warmth of the Rec Center. The Winter Markets are back, and they’re brimming with heart, heritage, and holiday joy.
