MINNEAPOLIS — 'Tis the season of holiday shopping and for Minnesotans looking for a wide array of locally-made, unique gifts, the Dayton's Project Winter Maker's Market will have dozens of vendors and businesses to help you check names off your list.
This year, 65 independent vendors will join the winter market, housed inside the Dayton's Project in downtown Minneapolis, from hand-crafted wood furniture and accessors to camping gear and canoes, to Red Wing Shoes and Faribault Mill blankets.
“There is something incredibly special about the holidays at The Dayton’s Project. We’re thrilled to be bringing back this one-of-a-kind holiday shopping destination,” Tricia Pitchford, the principal of Mid-America Real Estate, said in a statement. “We’re proud to support the vibrancy and resurgence of downtown Minneapolis, especially since the holidays have always been such an important part of Dayton’s history.”
The market opens on Nov. 17 and runs until Jan. 13. Mondays through Saturdays, the market will be open from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., and on Sundays it'll be open from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. through Dec. 23. Post-holiday hours will be announced later.
