Shopping by Lantern Light is held annually on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. No electric lights or open flames are used, so guests truly do shop by lantern light. Along with the opportunity to mingle with friends and vendors, this creates a festive and cozy holiday atmosphere.
The event is an excellent opportunity to shop local and shop small for the holidays.
“In the spirit of the market, we invite a variety of vendors to sell locally or regionally produced food and craft items," said Willow Farmer, Market Manager. "With an emphasis on produce, prepared food, and decorative items, this event highlights products that are perfect for Thanksgiving and holidays.”
Shopping by Lantern Light marks the end of the market season until Spring 2023. Locals can continue to shop the Statesboro Farmers Market2Go online year-round.
