If you’d rather knock out holiday shopping close to home than fight mall traffic, mark Saturday, Nov. 14. Sunny Day Markets brings its 3rd annual Holly Jolly Christmas Show to the Stanly County Agri-Civic Center on Newt Road in Albemarle, with shopping from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The organizer describes it as an indoor and outdoor holiday market: a lineup of shopping vendors plus a curated vendor showcase, food trucks, a coffee truck, craft beverages and holiday treats, with permanent jewelry among the offerings. Admission and parking are both listed as free.
