Small Business Saturday may get all the hype, but shopping small and local is always a great thing to do. On Saturday, Dec. 13, Station North will be bustling with Baltimore-based businesses, food, and more for the 5th Annual Station North Holiday Market.

The Holiday Market is a festive indoor/outdoor event featuring dozens of artists, makers, food, and drinks, all Baltimore-based. There will be pop-ups, free activities, and live performances. This is a one-day-only market for people of all ages.
