Save the Date for the Fifth Annual Handmade Holiday Market

The holiday season is right around the corner, and so is the highly-anticipated return of Wheeling Heritage’s Handmade Holiday market! Featuring more than 45 artisans from Wheeling and across the region, this one-day event invites patrons to celebrate the spirit of shopping small and discovering unique, locally crafted goods. The fifth annual Handmade Holiday will be held on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on the third floor of the Wheeling Artisan Center (1400 Main Street, Wheeling).

Unlike mass-produced items found in big box stores, all products at Handmade Holiday are skillfully created by local artisans. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to support local businesses and find the perfect gifts for your loved ones.

“This event has become a holiday tradition that we look forward to all year,” said Scott Schenerlein, executive director of Wheeling Heritage.  “We have a great gathering of regional talent all in the same location. Please come out and support all of these local artisans, you will be happy you did!”
