Champion City Holiday Market by Katy Ryan Designs
As if trick-or-treat wasn’t exciting enough, next month is the 3rd Annual Champion City Holiday Market! If you’re not familiar, this event is a one-of-a-kind holiday market hosted by the one and only Katy Ryan Designs! There will be 30 unique small Ohio businesses with a focus on handmade businesses. This market is dedicated to bringing high-quality vendors to the forefront for a unique holiday shopping experience. How cool is that?!
The Champion City Holiday Market is Saturday, November 20th from 9 AM - 3 PM. From 9-10 AM, there will be 75 VIP tickets available (with a swag bag, too), and that allows you to get in early and snag whatever you’ve been eyeing before others get a chance to snag it. After 10 AM, admission is free and parking is free for everyone. Based on demand, a second ticketed window may be added from 10 AM - 11 AM. In the event that this change is made, free admission will begin at 11 AM. Capacity is limited so get there early to avoid waiting in line outside to enter.
This event is being hosted at Knights of Columbus Council 624 (2055 S. Bird Road in Springfield, Ohio). The venue is located less than 5 minutes away from i70 (exit #59) and the Clark County Fairgrounds.
