This award winning holiday market has grown exponentially since its inception in 2012 and will be larger than ever in 2025. Last year nearly 8,000 visitors explored products from over 100 local artisans, crafters and makers over four floors of City Hall and the Cambridge Centre for the Arts.
This year shoppers will enjoy holiday music, a fire pit lounge, visits from Santa an Mrs. Claus and other special guest and food trucks. The Cambridge Holiday Market is a favourite destination for unique gifts, seasonal food and a great shopping atmosphere.
This year we have combined Phil Kline's Unsilent Night Friday December 5th. Mix in your shopping experience with the memorable outdoor walk starting at 7p.m outside in Civic Square to enjoy lights, sounds and creative fun for everyone. It will be an exciting weekend in downtown Cambridge.
