The Marco Island community will host its first Old World Christmas Bazaar Market at Veteran’s Community Park on November 29 and 30, 2025. The event is organized by Our Daily Bread Food Pantry and the Marco Island Center for the Arts. It aims to bring a European-style holiday market experience to local residents and visitors.
The market will feature artisan vendors selling handmade jewelry, home décor, holiday crafts, and unique gifts. Local food vendors will offer seasonal treats, while children’s activities and holiday music are also planned as part of the festivities. Proceeds from the event will support both organizing groups in their missions.
“This event is a celebration of community, creativity, and the joy of the holiday season,” said Allyson Richards, President of the Board of Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. “We invite everyone to join us for a magical weekend that supports feeding both the body and the soul.”
Artisan merchants interested in participating can apply for booth spaces at $125 for a 10’x10’ setup or $50 for table-only spaces under a tented area. Spaces are limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications require submission of an application form with photos of merchandise, with acceptance ongoing until all spots are filled.
