The Tweed Hungerford Agricultural Society took the lead to develop and deliver a first ever Outdoor Holiday Market event that took place at the Tweed Fairgrounds of Friday December 6, 2024 from 5-9 p.m..
Over 30 local vendors participated and marketed their goods alongside local business owners providing a hot chocolate/hot dogs/chili station. Market goers also were entertained by holiday entertainers that were singing Christmas carols throughout the fairgrounds.
This was offered as a free community event, only asking for donations to their local food bank. It is estimated that over 200 people attended and there is huge interest to create the event again for 2025.
Many volunteer hours went into setting the event and with the support of Community Futures, they were able to advertise it and create a magical night that will continue to grow from year to year.
