Sunshade Holiday Fest

Building on the momentum of this year’s Summer Fest, the Sunshade Building will host its next seasonal celebration, the Sunshade Holiday Fest, on Saturday, November 22 from 12–3 PM. The event will feature more than 25 local artists and makers, open studios, food trucks, coffee, and more.

This season’s event expands into the building’s first floor, adding 12 new vendors for a total of more than 25 artists and makers. Visitors can expect everything from pottery, woodworking, and glasswork to permanent jewelry, paintings, and holiday gifts—all created by regional artists.

Participating studios include Coil & Clay, Artistic Earth Pottery, Unparallel, and Hayner Distillery, each opening their doors for guests to browse, shop, and meet the makers behind their favorite pieces. The Warehouse, a long-established first-floor business, will host the event’s additional vendor spaces for the first time.

Food and drink will be provided by returning favorites Taters and Bunwiches and Lovewell Coffee Co., alongside face painting available for all ages—perfect for adding a bit of color and creativity to the day.

“This time of year always brings out the best in our community,” said Hannah Ellington, event coordinator and owner of Coil & Clay. “We love opening our doors, sharing what’s coming out of the kiln, and connecting people with handmade pieces that bring warmth into their homes for the holidays.”

The event is organized by Unparallel and Coil & Clay, with support from Hayner Distillery and building owner Greg Taylor. The Sunshade Holiday Fest is free and open to the public.
