As Santa makes his list and checks it twice, I’m sure he’ll be visiting some of these local markets to find special one-of-a-kind gifts. In just a stroll around downtown you can hit three artisan markets this weekend. The San Marcos Art League presents the Art Squared Holiday Market Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., where you can find dozens of unique art vendors set up around the courthouse. Pop into the San Marcos Art Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday for a special indoor market featuring many of SMAL’s members.
Right around the corner is Shop 1893 at the Price Center, which will be hosting a holiday market from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. They offer a wide selection of curated antiques, vintage, collectables and original creations. Be sure to check out my Shop Small San Marcos Guide for more leads on finding the perfect gifts while supporting local business.
