This weekend Broad Street will be transformed into a winter wonderland
One of Palmyra’s most popular holiday events, the Winter Night Market, is taking place throughout the downtown area along Broad Street on Dec. 15 from 5 to 9 p.m.
The event will feature vendors of all kinds, food trucks, carolers, crafters selling handmade holiday crafts and a trackless train ride for kids.
“It’s a full-on community event,” said John Casparro, president of the Palmyra Improvement Association. “We try to gear it towards adults and children so there’s something for everyone.”
Attendees are encouraged to participate in a scavenger hunt during the market. Each participant will be provided with a map and a passport to be stamped by vendors, food trucks and local businesses. Once their passport is full, they can take it to the Palmyra Improvement Association’s table at Grove Park next to the Municipal Building to be entered into a drawing for gift certificates and prizes at 8:30 p.m.
The theme of the market will be Polar Express. A new feature this year is a trackless train ride for kids. The train will run from the Community Center to Legion Field. Santa will be attending the Winter Night Market and will be hitching a ride on the train for a portion of the evening. Train tickets are $5 and can be purchased ahead of time by emailing Maureen Bryziki at maureenbrz@yahoo.com.
