Pop-up holiday market coming to Liberty Center this weekend: Who will be there

Liberty Center is used to hosting an array of Christmas activities every year, with parades and other activities. COVID-19 complicated that arrangement, so officials brainstormed and decided to host the first Merry Market Days, a pop-up holiday market featuring approximately 20 vendors.

“We needed to find a way to both bring people in and spread them apart,” said Taylor Hunker, Liberty Center’s Marketing Manager.

The market will take place in a large, vacant space formerly inhabited by Forever 21. There will be six feet between vendors, and a 20-foot aisle to direct traffic. Hand sanitizer stations will be prevalent, customers will allowed a limited time at each vendor, and contactless payment options will be available. Masks are mandatory.

“We’ll be keeping an eye on things,” Hunker said. “Hopefully, (mask-wearing) is something people are doing already.”

Participating vendors include:

  • Alison Cook
  • Alexis Nickelle Co. (candles)
  • ArmHer (female defense)
  • Asbymae (earrings)
  • CAW Photography Studio (nature and landscape photography)
  • Donna’s Gourmet Cookies (freshly made, small-batched gourmet cookies)
  • DiGiorgio Woodworks (custom wood home tables, jewelry boxes, bread boards, stepstools)
  • Fresh Home + Kitchen (produce baskets, bowl/baking covers, cooking and baking utensils)
  • Hat + Hand
  • HEwear by G (Christian apparel)
  • Hope & Grace Boutique (unique apparel)
  • Hosanna Revival (Female-centric Bibles, journals, and calendars)
  • Marin’s Bakery (home-baked cakes, cookies, and sweets)
  • Molly’s Cupcakes (award-winning cupcakes, cookies, brownies, cakes)
  • Mom + Me Crafts (baby/kid goods)
  • Pen + Nash Co. (children’s clothing and accessories)
  • Raomi (faith-based apparel, hats, cards)
