WNTR will run Saturdays and Sundays from 12-4 p.m., and kicked off the weekend after Thanksgiving.

WNTR Holiday Village and Makers Market is hosted by General Store Cooperative and Springfield Avenue Partnership, with support from PollockProperties Group and Matt Keane of Guaranteed Rate.

“We wanted to run something that would celebrate a variety of winter holidays and offer a fun spin on the traditional holiday markets,” said Amy Howlett, one ofthe event organizers. “For example, Santa will be there, just not as you would expect.”

WNTR highlights include: the Sandwicheria Food Truck, Metropolitan Klezmer, and a musical-instrument “petting zoo” courtesy of InTune. WNTR-goers can also browse local wares including artisanal chocolates, ceramics, toys, candles, and more.

Over the course of the 9-day market, WNTR will host more than 70 local makers and over 20 different activities and performances. A complete calendar can be found at WNTRinMaplewood.com, where you can also sign up to receiveupdates and special offers.

“WNTR visitors are also encouraged to visit the great shops on Springfield Avenue, many
of which are a quick walk from Yale Corner,” added Nicole Dooskin Wallace of Springfield Avenue Partnership.
