About the Market
The Petal Arts Council's Holiday Market brings together handmade and homegrown makers from across the Pine Belt for three days of local holiday shopping. It is part of Shop Petal First's "Wrapped in Local Love" season. The market is free and family friendly: an indoor market runs all three days, and an outdoor vendor market joins it on Saturday.
