Nestled in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, The Holiday Market at Studio Park transforms one of the city's most vibrant destinations into a whimsical, holiday‑themed marketplace celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and festive cheer. Neighboring the regionally-beloved Christkindl Markt, the separately operated Holiday Market at Studio Park will have its own distinct character and mix of vendors. Downtown's new holiday corridor is anticipated to expand the regional draw to more than 300,000 visitors to Grand Rapids during the months of November and December. In partnership with the Arts Marketplace, The Holiday Market at Studio Park brings together artisan makers, gift vendors, culinary creatives, and festive entertainers, creating a playful, whimsical celebration of creativity and craft.
