The Holiday Market at The Family Room

Shop Small. Give Local. The Holiday Market Brings Together Over 40 Local Artisans for a Day of Community, Creativity, and Giving

November 14th, 10a – 3p | The Family Room, Laytonsville, MD

Laytonsville, MD — The Holiday Market returns to The Family Room on Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., bringing together more than 40 local makers, artists, and small businesses for a festive, free and fun day of shopping, community, and giving back.

The market is a celebration of Maryland’s makers and creators, encouraging visitors to shop small and support local entrepreneurs this holiday season. From handmade jewelry and ceramics to candles and unique gifts, every item tells a story—and every purchase supports a local dream.Each maker is hand picked by our team here at The Family Room to ensure quality and excellence. Our makers provide unique gifts and goods, crafted by hand with creativity, love, and intention. 

"This market is more than just a shopping event. Yes, you will find amazing gifts and goods for yourself and the people you love, but the market is truly a celebration of connection and community,” said Corinne Sawyer, event organizer and co owner of The Family Room. "So much of what we see in the news these days is centered around AI, social media, online shopping and this sense of lost personal connection. The Holiday Market creates an opportunity for people to get outside and have real human connection! You get to meet the people behind the gifts that you are giving. Learn their stories. Hear from the people who handpicked or hand designed their products. It's an opportunity for real personal connections and community support."

“Every item tells a story, every item donated helps a neighbor, every conversation and sale is an opportunity for connection. We’re excited to bring people together to build community and make a difference.”

And don't forget to enjoy local eats from Grubbing Hard BBQ and Catalyst Hot Dogs, as well as a variety of bakers, savory treats, crepes and more!

In addition to shopping, guests are invited to join The Family Room in giving back through a Canned Food Drive benefiting Olney HELP, a local organization providing food assistance to families in need. The community’s goal is to collect 500 canned and non-perishable food items during the event.

“This event is all about community,” said Kim Glab, owner of The Family Room. “Every year we’re amazed by the way our community comes together to support the creativity and talent of our Maryland makers and give so generously to our neighbors. Together we've created an event that leaves our community feeling brighter, connected and supported!"

Join us at The Holiday Market at The Family Room for a day of shopping small, giving big, and celebrating community.
