Market at the Depot returns for Dayton's Christmas Kick-Off

DAYTON - The Dayton Historic Depot Museum announced the return of the Holiday Market at the Depot during the town-wide Christmas Kick-Off event on Friday, November 29, and Saturday, November 30. This annual market will showcase handcrafted goods from local artisans and vendors, offering unique holiday gifts and treats for visitors of all ages.

The Market at the Depot will feature local vendors offering handcrafted gifts, many priced under $40, making it the perfect opportunity for holiday shoppers to find unique, budget-friendly presents. There will be handmade candy, cookies, sweet treats, and classic 6" poinsettias to raise funds for the museum's general operations. From handmade crafts to holiday treats, there will be something for everyone.

In addition to the market, families can enjoy a memorable holiday experience with Children's Story Time at the Depot on Friday at noon and, again at 2 pm, and Saturday at noon. Each child will receive a candy cane, and thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Dayton Memorial Library, each family will take home a free holiday-themed children's book. Don't miss out on this magical story time designed to spread joy to our youngest visitors.

Also returning to the Depot is the Dayton Chapter of the PEO, selling their locally famous soup mix, a beloved holiday favorite perfect for the chilly winter months.

The Depot will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Friday and 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, so stop by and participate in the holiday fun.
