Yorktown’s Christmas Market on Main, with artists, food trucks, strolling musicians and antique cars, will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, December 2, and from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday, December 3, in Historic Yorktown.

The Town Crier “rings in” the market at 10 a.m. on Saturday followed by a performance from the Fifes and Drums of York Town. Then, Santa Claus greets families. Expect strolling musical entertainment throughout both days and an ice carving demonstration in front of York Hall on Sunday.

Nearly 100 vendors will offer everything from alpaca products and Christmas wreaths to handmade soaps and jewelry. Food vendor selections include clam chowder, lobster rolls, tacos, hot dogs, BBQ, cotton candy, kettle corn and baked goods.

The Peninsula Model Train Club will have a display in the lower level of York Hall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and York County Fire & Life Safety will have the department’s oldest fire truck, a 1955 Dodge, parked at the corner of Main and Nelson streets. Santa will be located by the fire truck on Saturday, and on Sunday he’ll be hosting Cookies with Santa in York Hall from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Yorktown Trolley will run from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and provides complimentary transportation throughout town. The Trolleys are heated and wheelchair accessible.

The Christmas Market is co-sponsored by Village Events and York County.
