The event will take over the Bryant Conference Center at the University of Alabama all day long, running from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Vendors will fill the space, with area boutiques, artisans, local restaurants and companies showcasing and selling their goods and services.

The free-to-attend holiday market will feature Christmas gifts and décor, handmade goods and seasonal treats, the Chamber said in a press release.

For a unique networking opportunity, swing by for the last two hours of the holiday market, when the Chamber will host their month Business After Hours attended by many of West Alabama's business and nonprofit leaders.

“Celebrate Local has become one of our most anticipated events of the year,” said Alicia Gregory, senior director of programs and operations for The Chamber. “It’s a wonderful way to bring our community together to support small businesses while enjoying a fun, festive shopping experience right before the holidays.”

Exhibitor booths are still available for purchase at the Chamber's website here.
