Willamalane’s Holiday Marketplace Starts Nov. 7 in Springfield
Willamalane will open its largest-ever Holiday Marketplace on Friday, Nov. 7. As one of the first holiday markets of the season in the Springfield and Eugene area, it’s an early opportunity to shop for gifts and seasonal items from more than 100 local businesses, artisans, live music, and food vendors.
The two-day event takes place at Bob Keefer Center (250 S. 32nd St., Springfield) on Friday, Nov. 7, from 12 to 5 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
Shoppers can expect a wide selection of handcrafted gifts and treats from new and returning vendors, including leather goods, eco-print silk scarves, greeting cards, handcrafted ornaments, and locally produced snacks like fresh farm products, kettle corn, cotton candy, cupcakes, cookies, jams, jellies, jerky, and candy.
Plus, this year the event will host three food trucks serving hot food and beverages: Most Wanted Espresso, Rattlesnake BBQ, and Las Comadres.
Willamalane hosts marketplace events twice a year to support small businesses and connect residents with local makers. Willamalane will host the next marketplace in the spring of 2026.
