Holly Jolly Christmas Markets
December 20, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

3rd Annual Holly Jolly Holiday Market Series at White Horse Black Mountain
The holiday season in Black Mountain shines a little brighter each year, and the 3rd Annual Holly Jolly Holiday Market Series at White Horse Black Mountain is one of the highlights of the season. Shoppers are invited to browse handcrafted treasures, seasonal treats, and one-of-a-kind gifts while enjoying live, local music in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the historic White Horse venue.
This is more than just a shopping experience—it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and connection. Each market features a curated selection of local artisans and makers, offering everything from handmade jewelry and fine art to baked goods, home décor, cozy knitted items, and more. Visitors can sip a festive holiday drink, tap their toes to live tunes, and even snap a photo with Santa himself.
The Holly Jolly Markets are a perfect way to support small businesses while checking off your holiday shopping list. By choosing locally made gifts, shoppers help sustain the creative heartbeat of our region and spread joy that lasts far beyond the holidays.
