Holiday Market - November 30th and December 1st

Our Holiday Market is back again! This year there will be vendors in both the Museum and the Annex at 365 Old Placentia Road, Mount Pearl. The market will be open on November 30th and December 1st, from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM both nights. There will be a $2 per person admission charge at the door.

While you're here, take a little time for yourself and join the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl at the Creativity Café! No actual creativity required but feel free to relax by trying one of their low-key, no pressure creative activities while you have a cup of hot chocolate and a quick snack!

We have an amazing lineup: some will be returning from last year and some will be new faces at our Holiday Market!
