Holiday Markets in Jersey City

The holidays are a busy time in Jersey City, but there are lots of markets around so you can shop while drinking, eating, and having a good time. To help you stay organized, here's a rundown of the markets happening over the next several weeks.

The HDSID Artist & Maker Market is back for the holidays, carrying jewelry, plants, candles, specialty food items, and more, all made by local artists and artisans. Because it's a special seasonal extension of the Farmer's Market, it's one stop shopping - buy your groceries and cross someone off your list.
When and Where: Every Monday and Thursday from 4pm-8pm at Grove Street Plaza

The Jersey City Project: Market is returning again this year, full of great vendors selling handmade goods, antiques, clothing, and art so you can find something for everyone - or something for yourself (it's hard to resist). In addition, the events from The Jersey City Project always prove to have an excellent line-up of both food gifts and food ready to eat and this year promises to be no different. With vendors like Outer Limits Hot Sauce, Hoboken Farms, Eemas Cuisine, Jersey City Veggie Burgers, The Cow and the Curd, Busy Bee Organics (s'mores hot chocolate!), Milk Sugar Love (mini Wintermint Mac Daddys!), and Ahri's Kitchen.
When and Where: This weekend, 12/3 and 12/4, from 11am-6pm behind City Hall, 280 Grove Street
