The Chester Holiday Market Returns This Weekend!
The iconic downtown area of Chester will once again be bustling on Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the Holiday Market.

CHESTER, CT — Offering an easily accessible way to shop local and support small businesses, the Chester Holiday Market will be in full swing on Sundays, from November 28, through December 19th.
There will be no backorders or transportation delays on the gifts you will find at the famed Chester Holiday Market and your friends and family are sure to appreciate the time and effort that goes into locally made goods, so why not plan a shopping trip this season to the Holiday Market? Pick up lunch at one of the many restaurants in downtown Chester, or grab a delicious pizza from Franks Woodfired Pizzas. Relax at Little House Brewing Company and taste a new beer from their varied collection. Perhaps a Smore's Sunday at the Honeycone Ice Cream is more to your liking? Whatever the case, mark your calendars for the Holiday Market dates.
"It's a fun way to do your holiday shopping and spend a Sunday," said Market Manager Sue Hotkowski.
