Broadway Market Celebrates the Holidays |

The Broadway Market, which shed its old management less than a month ago, marks the beginning of the holiday season this weekend with its second annual Christmas Fair. Patterned European holiday markets, the two-day event showcases work by craftsmen selling a wide variety of goods, from artisanal cheeses to Christmas decorations and toys. Visiting holiday vendors will join year-round Broadway Public Market merchants selling fresh meats, poultry, fish, produce, and baked goods. Special holiday Polish sausage with marjoram will be on sale at the Market’s butcher shops. |
