Tenino Holiday Market returns on Nov. 28-30 

The 6th annual Tenino Holiday Market is returning for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

The holiday market, which features music and handcrafted products from 40 regional artisans, runs from Friday, Nov. 28, through Sunday, Nov. 30.

The Tenino Area Chamber of Commerce and Tenino Arts will hold the free event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day in the Kodiak Room in Tenino. 

This year’s market includes fine jewelry, pottery, woodwork, leather belts, glass art, photography, fiber art and specialty food products.  

There is going to be live music on all three days, including a performance by ShamRock Celtic band on Saturday, Nov. 29.

“The Tenino Holiday Market is unique in its retail store setup. Keeping with the format established during its founding in 2020, artisans will not be on-site at individual booths," states an announcement about the event.

"Instead, all products will be displayed, and purchases will be made at a single, central location managed by cashiers from the Tenino Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and volunteers."

The market ran for six weekends during its inaugural year in 2020, and over the past five years, the annual market and spring market have collectively generated more than $400,000 in sales and attracted thousands of visitors to the Tenino Creative District. 

“We have diligently worked hard to recruit a nice mix of quality handmade products by some of the areas most talented artisans. We are excited to have (11) new artists this year, including items from Simply Organic Café and Colvin Ranch Provisions at the Tenino Agriculture Innovation Park,” said Tenino Holiday Market Co-Chair Jenny Hall in a statement included in the announcement.

More information is available at the website. The Kodiak Room is located at 225 Sussex Ave. SW in Tenino.
