Read on to learn more about the Hoboken Holiday Market happening on Tuesday, December 17th.
About the Market
A portion of the proceeds from this event will once again support the Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps. This incredible organization is completely fueled by volunteers who provide emergency response services to our community at no cost to those they serve.
This year’s event is back at Birch, which is sure to get you in the holiday spirit since they knock it out of the park when it comes to holiday decor. You’ll check-in and then start shopping on all three floors of Birch by visiting our food vendors and do more shopping from local artisans, designers, and boutiques. After you’re done shopping, you can head back to the first floor where the Hoboken Public Libary will be on-site offering complimentary gift wrapping when you sign up for a library card. Then, head to the bar at Birch with friends to indulge in holiday fun and drinks. Chandon is the drink sponsor for the event and will treat attendees to a delicious glass of bubbly {for pre-purchased tickets only}. We are currently sold out of tickets online, but tickets will be available for purchase at the door. Tickets purchased at the door, however, will not include a complimentary glass of Chandon, but will include a donation to the Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
