"As a local artisan myself, I know how much it means when someone chooses to shop small and support something made by hand," said Angie Leffler of Treasures by the Tide, who helps coordinate the market. "This event is about bringing our community together, celebrating creativity of local makers and giving shoppers an opportunity to discover something truly special."

In addition, LCA's Gallery Shop will kick off their expanded Holiday Artisan Market through January 8, 2027 to accommodate hundreds of unique items for the holiday season. The market is open during regular LCA hours and events.
