A scene from last year’s SoMa Christmas Market
Do you need a little Christmas?
This weekend, the holiday season kicks into high gear in Harrisburg with the return of the SoMa Christmas Market, which will take place Sunday, Dec. 1.
The outdoor event, hosted by Harristown Enterprises, will feature about 30 local and regional vendors, who will set up on S. 3rd street, between Market and Chestnut streets, in downtown Harrisburg. They will offer a variety of products, including unique crafts, handmade goods and artisan creations, according to organizer Sara Bozich.
In addition to shopping, attendees will enjoy the sounds of DJ EMD spinning holiday tunes, a visit from Harrisburg’s beloved street band, No Last Call, and an appearance by Santa, who will be on-site for photo opportunities.
The market will also feature a selection of food and beverages from local food trucks, including:
- Crema Coffee (offering coffee, tea and baked goods)
- Madeline’s Sweets & Savories (offering both soup and ice cream)
- BFG Snacks
Several SoMa Harrisburg businesses, including Found Collab, Tamara’s Boutique and Boneshire Brew Works, also will open their doors to market-goers, Bozich said. Admission is free.
The SoMa Christmas Market takes place Sunday, Dec. 1, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in downtown Harrisburg’s “south of Market” neighborhood. For a full list of participating vendors, visit www.sarabozich.com/events.
