The European-style holiday market, to be held in large, heated tents, will feature more than 40 food and artisan vendors, live music, dancing, children’s activities and horse-drawn carriage rides.
“We have an incredible line-up of live entertainment again this year,” says co-chair Amanda Copeland, “and are happy to welcome back the Enzien Bavarian Dance Troupe, Tim Ortiz, Frank Palangi and PJ Duo, as well as new acts such as Hot Club of Saratoga, LeBet, Golfstrom and the Edelweiss Schuhplattler dance troupe of Utica. Our larger food/entertainment tent will be able to accommodate many more people and allow them to enjoy the music and dancing.”
