"I made it a goal for all of my Christmas presents this year to be from small businesses, and this market made it easy! I love the Holiday Market and look forward to it every year."

“I moved to Pittsburgh the week before this event, and I am so glad I saw a news article about it. My husband and I bought several Christmas gifts, but perhaps more importantly, we saved so many business cards and made a log of all the businesses we’d like to continue shopping at over the year. We already feel more connected to the city through this event. Thank you!”
