Prepare to dazzle shoppers at our grandest event yet! NextFab and Olde Kensington Boutique have once again partnered to bring you the third annual “Miracle on American Street” Holiday Gift Market!
Over 100 vendors will be selling unique and creative gifts, from jewelry and clothing to home décor and food. Sip and shop for the perfect gift for everyone on your list, while supporting local artists and makers in our neighborhoods. Enjoy demonstrations, giveaways, and make-and-take activities for all ages, including the make-your-own ornament at the ornament-making station, and personalize your own jewelry at the jewelry stamping station, and gather around our make-your-own s’mores stations to make a snack while you shop.
Tours of the NextFab makerspace will be available during the half-hour from 12 noon to 4 pm. Explore each of our departments and watch demonstrations of some of our members on the machines.
After you are finished shopping, stop by our gift wrap station to get all your newly purchased gifts wrapped in locally designed wrapping paper. Our activity tent will host several fun activities for all ages!
Each of the businesses in the building will be hosting their own specials, activities, and shopping:
