It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
I’ve already warned Brian that, as of last weekend, I have at least one holiday market event I’m hoping to attend every weekend until Christmas. I don’t know if all of these bazaars/markets/fairs are a product of life in the Berkshires, or if it’s a product of the time we’re living in, but there are so many events happening.
It’s almost difficult for me to articulate why I love these holiday markets so much. I do attempt to buy Christmas gifts at them, but there are certainly many items that don’t appeal to me at all. But I love the feeling of visiting with local merchants, many of whom have worked hard to craft their wares. It’s such a nice experience to see vendors and neighbors out and about while looking at beautiful products and listening to Christmas music. I’m sure I’m not the only one who adores attending all of these events, so I’m working to help us all out by creating a master list here.
I’ll be updating this post every time I discover a new event. If you see one I haven’t added, please send it my way!
