- Dress for the weather, because the market is set up in the museum's Castle Garden in early December.
- Expect newer, small maker businesses, since the market only works with beginner and intermediate local makers chosen by a community jury.
- Do your holiday gift shopping here knowing the market is the museum's largest fundraiser and helps local makers through their busiest season.
