Back to Nature Holiday Market

Saturday, December 4, 2027 | 10AM – 4PM

Holiday Market will be taking a break in 2026 due to campus wide construction on our grounds. It will return in 2027 with brand new and enhanced venue spaces.

Shop local this holiday season

Explore local artisans who have unique, handmade, and/or eco-friendly gifts for the holiday season. Art, jewelry, candles, children’s gifts, bath products, food, nature gifts, and so much more.

We ask that you make reservations online in advance, however we will accommodate walk-ups on the day of the event.

Experience the season’s magic beyond the shopping

>> Walk our scenic trails and river boardwalk, meet native wildlife, and grab a festive Polaroid.

>> Enjoy roaming carolers, warm up by the campfire, and treat yourself to s’mores, cocoa, cider, and fresh popcorn.

>> Football lovers, we’ve got you covered: watch the big game on the plaza TV and enjoy the holiday spirit at the same time!

Admission is FREE to CNC as a gift to the community. Come and enjoy the beautiful grounds along with the market.
