Holiday shops pop up in Downtown St. Joseph

By Ashley Luthans

Every Saturday leading up to Christmas, St. Joseph residents can enjoy holiday pop-up shops Downtown in Coleman Hawkins Park.

There are tons local vendors, as well as concessions and holiday music to enjoy at the Holiday Village Market.

Vendor Alexis Lynch was excited to help bring people Downtown.

“I am a big supporter of Downtown anyways,” Lynch said. “I sell with Nesting Goods Downtown. I’m very involved with a lot of the different businesses, have became friends with them. So it’s just a really important thing to me that we get people coming Downtown to interact and everything.”

Sponsored by Eclipz Gourmet Popcorn, this is the fifth year for the holiday event.
