Special Holiday Market at Citrus Creek Apartments

On Thursday, December 17 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m., you’ll be shopping in a Winter Wonderland with our special edition of the monthly Citrus Creek Apartments farmers market. This outdoor market, located at our Citrus Creek property in the heart of River Ridge and Elmwood, features more than 20 local vendors serving up handmade products like organic soaps, homemade dog treats, local honey, and so much more.

Scenic Citrus Creek will host a special holiday farmers market.

Citrus Creek Holiday Market

With something for the entire family, this special holiday market features all the standout components of our previous events – locally made crafts, specialty foods, and gift items, plus guided tours of the Citrus Creek property – in addition to a little holiday magic. Here’s what you can expect during this special holiday farmers market:

  • We’ll be showing a holiday movie in the theater room during the market
  • Two festive light poles will illuminate the market
  • Kids (and kids at heart) can write letters to Santa with provided supplies
  • We’ve partnered with an adjacent Christmas tree lot and are excited to offer special discounts on trees purchased during the market
  • A live band will provide festive holiday music

Our elves worked extra hard to provide one last facet of holiday fun: snow! We’ll have a small area of snow that measures about 3-4 feet. It’s not exactly a white winter, but it’s certainly a great photo opportunity.

Here’s a glimpse at the vendors and products you’ll find at the holiday market:

  • Fleur de Art
  • Handmade soaps
  • Local honey and produce
  • Pickles and pepper jelly
  • Handcrafted shaving products
  • Homemade tea cakes
  • Candles
  • Gelato
  • Pet food and treats
  • Landscape plants and materials
  • Chocolate-covered fruits
  • Reclaimed wood home decor
  • Succulents
  • Jewelry

To best prepare for the event, plan to bring cash. Although some vendors accept cards, we recommend having cash as well for easy, seamless transactions. And while festive attire certainly isn’t required, feel free to wear your favorite holiday sweater or reindeer antlers. We hope to see you there!
