Harrisburg’s SoMa neighborhood
This month, downtown Harrisburg will join a growing trend throughout central PA—an outdoors holiday market.
On Nov. 25, the SoMa Christmas Market will debut on S. 3rd Street, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring a variety of artists, crafts people, food trucks, beverage vendors and entertainment, according to organizer Harristown Enterprises.
“We’re excited to host this new event in SoMa,” said Brad Jones, Harristown’s president and CEO. “If you haven’t made it to one of our SoMa block parties—or even if you have—you’re in for a treat.”
For several years, Harristown has hosted summertime block parties on the 100-block of S. 3rd Street, between Market and Chestnut streets, where the market also will take place.
In addition to street vendors, local SoMa retailers will be open, including such places as Tamara Boutique, Found Collab and Boneshire Taps at SoMa. Live entertainment will be provided by Nate Myers and the Aces and the Collinsville Discount Band.
The SoMa Christmas Market takes place on Small Business Saturday, offering shoppers a chance to support local small businesses.
The event is rain or shine. However, in the event of very bad weather, it will be moved indoors to Strawberry Square, according to Harristown.
