The Winter Market, first held in December 2018, is a European-style, open air market held during HBI’s Bellefonte Victorian Christmas.
The Bellefonte Winter Market will feature skilled makers and artisan vendors, as well as food vendors, craft beverage vendors, and more. Spend a day in downtown Bellefonte with us — heat up in the warming tent, enjoy a craft beverage while you shop, and enjoy live entertainment!
Parking will be available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the former Centre Crest building at 502 East Howard Street. A holiday trolley shuttle will run continuously from the parking lot to the downtown event. In addition, parking is available in all municipal lots in Bellefonte. Holiday courtesy parking (free parking) is in effect in Bellefonte from November 24 through Christmas Day.
