Perhaps one of the most conveniently located holiday markets is the Grand Central Holiday Fair. Running from November 10 through December 24, Vanderbilt Hall, the destination will highlight the work of 35 local food and craft vendors and small businesses known for their quality craftsmanship and products made within the state of New York or the U.S.
Goods will range from home décor and jewelry to abstract art and perfumes. “If you plan to spend some in the city for the holiday season and travel here by subway, Metro-North or Long Island Rail Road, make sure you start your visit by stopping by the Holiday Fair as well as our stores and restaurants here in and outside of the Terminal,” GCT officials said.
This year, Uncommon Goods is back with a pop-up at the market with a hand-picked selection of imaginative gifts for kids, handmade jewelry and ornaments, small batch syrups and confections, and creatively designed finds for grillmasters, sports fans, book lovers and more. Also returning is the viral Inciardi Mini-Print Vending Machine with over 30 new prints, three new collections, five machines and other new merchandise.
There will also be a Thanksgiving Market on Wednesday, November 26 from 1pm to 6pm in the Biltmore Room, near Track 42. This one-day event features a festive selection of seasonal treats from the Terminal’s retailers, perfect for any Thanksgiving gathering.
The Holiday Fair will operate seven days a week from 10am to 7pm Monday-Saturday; and 11am to 6pm on Sundays. The space will be closed for Thanksgiving and open on Christmas Eve from 10am-6pm.
