Holiday Harbor Village festivities take place December 6 & 7
The 2nd annual Holiday Harbor Village event returns to Grand Marais this weekend and brings with it a sled dog meet & greet, a rock skipping contest, shopping, sauna experiences, and more.
The festivities will take place on Friday, December 6, and Saturday, December 7, inviting visitors and residents of Grand Marais to embrace the winter spirit, enjoy time with friends and family, and support small businesses. The 2nd annual winter event will have expanded activities and participants.
“So this is a little different from last year,” said Gina Joyce, the project manager for Holiday Harbor Village. This year, the participating artist vendors have expanded to include 15 at the winter market at The Hub. “So that should be fantastic, lots of local great artisans.”
Joyce said the Holiday Harbor Village organizers are excited to see the annual winter event grow. “It’s going to continue growing, hopefully over the years.”
