Support the Arts With Holiday Markets and Boutiques in Westchester

The 2024 holiday season has arrived, and so begins the search for meaningful gifts for loved ones. While major online retailers offer convenience, they often fail to provide truly unique presents. Fortunately, Westchester County comes alive with an array of holiday boutiques and artisan markets, each offering a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind items. These local events not only provide an opportunity to find special gifts but also support regional artists and craftspeople.

From handcrafted ceramics to locally inspired artworks, these markets showcase the rich creative talent within the Westchester community.
