The
Virginia Beach Christmas Market is the largest and most popular
holiday event in the Hampton Roads area attracting over 16,000 shoppers
every thanksgiving weekend. The Virginia Beach Convention Center is a
beautiful facility that offers free parking, concessions, easy & convenient
load-in/out and is all under one roof. 
Readers of Sunshine Artist Magazine just voted this show #25 in their 100 Best Arts and Crafts Shows in the USA poll.
This juried show features more than 300 leading artisans from across
the country offering fine art, functional & decorative pottery, handcrafted
jewelry, glass,
decorative arts, photography, woven baskets, furniture, collectible dolls,
wearable art and much more. Specialty food vendors offer gift-packaged
gourmet fare such as Virginia wines, almond pound cakes, party dips, sparkling
cider and fruit cakes. Events Management Group, Inc. works with the Food
Bank of Southeastern Virginia helping needy families during the holiday
season by collecting donations of canned goods for 50¢ off admission.
Good News
Northern Virginia Christmas Market Foodbank Update
"We collected 4,500 pounds of food, bringing our 7 year food total to 47,433 pounds! The craft show/sale drew shoppers from the mid-atlantic region and vendors from across the United States. Our hosts, the very friendly people of Events Management Group, made us feel right at home."

"Support American Craftspeople"
The craft show industry and America's artisans are feeling the effects of cheap, imported knock offs now being sold in every mega-retail store and catalog throughout the U.S.
With this major issue at hand, we, as promoters, will continue our efforts in creating awareness and appreciation for all American artists and craftspeople.
Please join us at the next show where you will find some of the most creative and exciting handcrafts and fine art exhibited anywhere in Virginia this season.
