Twas the night before the Holiday Bazaar, when in the Grand Hotel ballroom

Not a creature was stirring … was quiet as a tomb.

The vendors were registered and booth space assigned.

In hopes holiday shoppers the next day would find.

The booths were all stocked with goods of all types

Jewelry, decorations, gifts for all would be a sight!

Saturday, Dec. 4 is the day it would hap…

Shopping times for all is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. then it’s off to wrap …

The first Holiday Bazaar and Merry Market is a fundraiser for Trinity Episcopal Day School. Vendor registration fees will go to the school for use in continuing the tradition of academic excellence and diverse opportunities available for students in grades preK-12 at Trinity.

The event will consist of a variety of vendors, the majority of which are local, which will showcase their goods in a marketplace of booths decorated for a fun, festive holiday atmosphere.

All sales the day of the event go directly to the individual vendors. The event is patterned after similar holiday markets in neighboring cities which have been very successful in recent years. The vendors consist of a mix of local merchants, artists, craftsman offering a wide variety of goods to meet every need on your shopping list.

A complete list of our fabulous vendors is available on the Holiday Bazaar event page on Facebook.

Our hope is that this event will become a local holiday tradition and great complement to existing Christmas in Natchez events offering another attraction for locals and our visitors to enjoy.

The Holiday Bazaar and Merry Market is open to the public and will be Saturday, at the Natchez Grand Hotel on the corner of Main and Broadway streets.

Shopping hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Come join us and satisfy your shopping list while supporting these wonderful local vendors!
