Holly Jolly Market 6th Annual

The 6th annual Holly Jolly Market is a marvelous opportunity to purchase last minute handmade items and holiday gifts in a beautiful setting the week before Christmas. Situated in Punta Gorda at Gilchrist Park, overlooking the Charlotte Harbor, the event is always held the 3rd weekend in December. The market is open Saturday & Sunday 10am to 5pm and is free to the public, sitting along the bay directly across the Charlotte Harbor and the new Sunseekers resort.

The focus is on handmade & artist designed items but the jury will consider unique/creative gift ideas, authors, inventors and designers for holiday gift giving. Artists are selected through a review of their work by a panel of experts. Applicants may submit in up to two categories and emerging artists of all levels are encouraged to apply. Application fee is $15, with early bird pricing of $275 if paid before October 6, $325 if paid after.

Booth spaces are approximately 10' wide by 10' deep with at least 2 feet between booths. All artist exhibitor tents must be white with no exceptions. Setup is Saturday morning 6:30am to 9am with easy load in and load out next to booth space. Categories are capped with no more than 25% jewelry, and participating artists are listed on the Facebook event page.
