Holiday markets are the perfect place to find a little bit of magic (and a lot of presents).

Skip the lines at the mall and shop small instead! These festive holiday markets bring together makers, bakers and artisans for a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. Many of the local shopping events feature live music and seasonal treats, and provide an opportunity to celebrate the season with the larger Erie community.
