Each year, Occoquan dresses up for the holidays! You’ll think you’ve walked onto the set of a winter wonderland Hallmark movie. This year, visiting Occoquan becomes a magical holiday shopping experience as our Holiday Artisan Market extends to Mill Street!

Join us for a Holiday Artisan Market on December 2 & 3 when 100 artisans and craft persons will offer original, handmade work in a full range of media. From handmade bath and body products, candles, gourmet food products and home décor to fine art and jewelry, you are sure to find the perfect gift for everyone on your holiday list–and maybe something for yourself too. 

• Saturday, December 2 from 11am-7pm

• Sunday, December 3 from 11am-4pm

  SANTA COMES TO TOWN!

  Since we are a river town, it only makes sense to bring Santa in on a boat! The big guy arrives Saturday, December 2, at 10:45am at the Town Dock just in time to open the Holiday Artisan Market at 11am
