However, Parks and Recreation has issued a fraud alert warning against unauthorized individuals who may attempt to sell event tickets or booth spaces for the Holiday Market through online platforms or social media. These are scams as there is no cost for shoppers to attend the market and all vendors are selected through a juried process. Booth spaces are also non-transferrable. The only official website for booth space payments is through Parks and Recreation's website. Any other forms of payment should not be sent.

The Holiday Market promises to be a festive and enjoyable event for all, showcasing the talents of local and regional artists while providing a unique shopping experience for visitors.
