The Holiday Festival, hosted by Newtown Youth & Family Services, introduced a new event this year: the Outdoor Holiday Market & Stroll on Sunday December 5th.

The sidewalk along Main Street, from Edmond Town Hall to the CH Booth Library, was dotted with various vendors selling everything from candles and jewelry to ornaments.

Shoppers of all ages visited the booths to shop for handmade products this holiday season. There were also food vendors and the Fairfield Gaelic Pipe Band performed.

Santa Claus was also on site, next to the red wagon in front of Edmond town hall, for photos and pre-Christmas conversations.
