The 8th Annual Holiday Yule Log Bonfire & Christmas Marketplace is slated for Saturday, December 4, from 12pm to 8pm at Town Point Park along the Downtown Norfolk Waterfront.
The Holiday Yule Log Bonfire & Christmas Marketplace is the picture-perfect occasion to welcome in the holiday season. The event features an expansive shopping experience showcasing local small businesses & artisans, a cozy bonfire, live Christmas caroling & musical performances, Jack Daniels seasonal cocktails, and FREE Santa Claus visits, all in a beautiful, snowy winter wonderland along the Elizabeth River.
The event is free, including the Santa visits, and open to the public. For more information on the event, please visit bit.ly/YuleLog21.
