The holiday season has arrived on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, and there’s no cozier way to celebrate than an afternoon among handmade gifts and good company.
Following the Highlands Christmas Parade, The Bascom opens its doors for a festive reception at the Holiday Market. Wrap your hands around a mug of hot chocolate, help yourself to cookies and cheese straws, and take your time browsing handcrafted gifts from local and regional artists. A special trunk show adds even more to discover, along with the chance to meet the maker in person.
It’s holiday shopping the way it should feel: unhurried, festive, and full of one-of-a-kind pieces made by hand in Western North Carolina. Make a day of it with the parade, or simply come for the reception. Bring the whole family, and bring your list.
Free and open to the public.
Saturday, December 5, 2–4 p.m.
