2023 Christmas Market

Factoryville Borough will be holding the annual Christmas Market on December 1st from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, December 2nd from 12:00pm to 7:00pm, and December 3rd from 11:00am to 3:00pm. There are over 40 vendors, festive food and drinks, live music and demonstrations, a Children’s Wonderland with Elf School, Pictures with Santa, and MUCH MORE!

On Friday, there will be a Reindeer Run to kick it off at 6:00pm. The first 50 who sign up will get light up antlers! Then, Santa will ride in on the fire truck and greet the kids (and kids at heart). Immediately following his arrival, there will be a tree-lighting ceremony! Stay for dinner with Hatchet Jack’s, Hoagies by Nickie’s, and several community groups. The Class of 2025 will have Hot cocoa, cider, coffee, and tea. The Class of 2026 will be selling hot dogs, walking tacos, mac and cheese, and baked goods. Factoryville UMC will have homemade soup. Don’t forget to order your specialty coffee at Murray’s Coffee Shack! ALL THE VENDORS WILL BE OPEN TOO!

Saturday will bring even more magic starting at 12:00pm! Horse-drawn carriage rides will take you around town. Don’t forget to sing carols while you sip your hot cocoa or coffee! Consider a donation to help these rides continue each year! Be sure to visit each vendor again, and be prepared because new vendors appear or disappear throughout the day in our community tent! Make sure to catch lunch, snacks, and dinner because there is plenty to eat. Consider Italian homemade gnocchi, chicken parmesan, Italian wedding soup, or a Caesar salad at Carey’s Catering Food Truck. Lupo Rosso will have their famous woodfired pizza (Saturday only). Maybe you want to have a hot dog, walking taco, macaroni and cheese, and baked goods at the class of 2026 tent. Or maybe you are interested in chili from the Men’s Civic Club to go with your pierogies and wing bites at Gin’s Tavern. The Little League always has something too! Be sure to get some coffee at Murray’s all day long too! Other drinks can be found at the Class of 2025 tent! Close out your evening with a spectacular fireworks display at 7:00pm thanks to the Men’s Civic Club! Donations can be made at their chili tent!

Be sure to come back for even more on Sunday! The carriage rides will continue to run, and more food than you can dream of will be available! Bryan Carey Catering Truck will have smash burgers, fries, soups, and sandwiches. All your favorites from Saturday will be back with the community groups! Vendors will have it all!

Please do not pull into the Christy Mathewson Park from Riverside Drive. Parking is at the Elementary Center (179 College Avenue) with a short walk across our beautifully decorated bridge. If the lot is full, don’t worry because this year we will have additional parking with shuttle service at Creekside Park (156 Creek Road).

Be sure to check out the Facebook Page for details on all of the AMAZING vendors! You can find it in the discussion section of the event!
