Do you enjoy the Dearborn Farmer’s and Artisan Market throughout the spring, summer and fall?

Now you can extend that feeling throughout the winter, beginning on Sunday, Dec. 22 at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center.

The City of Dearborn, the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce and the Farmer’s Market are joining forces to present a Winter Market one Sunday of each month during the off season.

The market will be open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. inside the Hubbard Ballroom. Admission and parking are both free at The Center.

Popular vendors from the summer version will be on hand for the Winter Market, include those selling edible goods, like gourmet chocolate, frozen pasties, hot sauce and kettle corn.

High-quality crafters will also be part of the Winter Market, with some new additions anticipated.

On Dec. 22, visitors to the Winter Market will find Pulse Jewelry and Swarovski crystal jewelry, JennaMarie Chocolates, Scotty O’Hotty Hot Sauces, plus vendors selling teas, scarves, paintings, gourmet cheese and sodas, garden art, photo prints and more.

Visitors will also have the chance to sample foods from local restaurants, including popular Dearborn Thai eatery Bangkok 96, and Dearborn Heights fast food restaurant Del Taco.

The Winter Market in December will focus on ideas for holiday gift-giving, and then offer unique shopping experiences on January 19, February 16, March 16 and April 13.

For those not looking to shop, the market will also feature musical and other performances.

On Dec. 22, visitors can enjoy jazzy holiday tunes featuring Marty Heger Jr. from 11a.m. -noon, and then pianist and Chamber official Wendy Fichter playing seasonal music 1-2 p.m.

The Henry Ford Community College Ice Carving Team, on winter break through the holidays, will do live carving demonstrations at the market starting in January.
