Upcoming dates

  • Sat. Nov. 21, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It is a one-day market. The city lists it on its events calendar as the “Annual Holiday Artists’ Market at the Arts Center,” run by Arts Alpharetta, the nonprofit arts group that also organizes the city’s Paint the Town plein air festival. Neither the city nor Arts Alpharetta has posted a date for next year’s market yet.

The same Saturday is busy downtown. The city’s tree lighting runs from 5 to 8 p.m. at City Hall and the Town Green, a short walk from the Arts Center, so the market can be the first stop of the day. The lighting’s schedule is on our Christmas parade and tree lighting page.
