A Holiday Artisan Market is being hosted by the State of Connecticut and the City of Waterbury on November 29th and 30th inside City Hall, 235 Grand Street. The market will feature a collection of handcrafted products and will showcase artisans and artists from around Connecticut. With its premiere in City Hall, we expect this Market to grow every year and become a state-wide attraction.
Just in time for the holiday season, this is an incredible opportunity to shop in a boutique setting for some of the finest jewelry, clothing, soaps, food products, home accessories, art work, kitchenware and decorative gifts that you can find in the state of Connecticut. The dynamic event will provide a one-of-a-kind shopping experience while highlighting our state’s diverse group of artists and artisans, and showcasing the magnificent Waterbury City Hall.
