Christmas in the Country Artisan Market is celebrating its 40th anniversary at the Hamburg Fairgrounds Thursday through Nov. 10 — and organizers say this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever.
With more than 450 artisans spread across five buildings, attendees can discover an extraordinary selection of handcrafted, made-in-the-USA creations. From stunning home décor, unique jewelry and aromatic candles to adorable children’s toys, stylish pottery, gourmet foods and gifts for your pets.
Looking for something new? Nearly 40 new artisans will be joining this year’s lineup, along with favorite returning creators. There’s also the chance to meet and connect with the talented makers behind the one-of-a-kind products. As Dan Kaczynski of Premier Promotions says, “We always strive to keep things fresh and exciting while preserving the traditions and artisans our guests love.”
Tastings of some of the area’s finest spirits and wines will also be available as will several options at a food truck rodeo.
Christmas in the Country offers complimentary return passes allowing attendees to come back as many times as they’d like throughout the weekend at no extra cost.
“This event is too special and frankly too big to experience in just one day,” says Kaczynski, “and now our guests have the freedom to enjoy it at their own pace.”
This year’s event will benefit several local nonprofit organizations, including The P.U.N.T. Foundation, Hamburg Eden Animal Rescue Team (H.E.A.R.T.), Variety – The Children’s Charity of Buffalo, and Hamburg Presbyterian Church.
Christmas in the Country runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Nov. 9, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 10.
