“It’s so fun to support small businesses; there’s so many here in Charlotte, and you get to see all the creative things people are doing,” O’Leary said.
More than 140 vendors got the chance to help the community finish their holiday shopping and win over a few new customers along the way, all while enjoying festive food and holiday drinks.
Many of the vendors at Saturday’s market opening were local, small businesses. The owner of Studio KMO, Karen O’Leary, said it’s wonderful to see so much support for local businesses.
The market will stay open for the next three weekends.
