Web Drop
Due to some unanticipated schedule changes for markets going into the holiday season, as well as popular demand, I will be scheduling a web drop for December 2025.
I am going to be working on putting together listings of the items that are left from the Holiday Market at Innovation Station. The goal is to start having these ready for posting over the next week.
I made a lot more than I realized for the market so there is quite a bit leftover.
Still working on the shipping logistics but will also have a coupon code “LOCAL” for local pick up (WNC area). I will reach out to you to set up time/place to get your item if you choose this route.
I appreciate all of the overwhelmingly support in the form of disappointment about my change in market schedule so I want to ensure that folks who want to shop still get a chance.
Innovation’s Annual Holiday Market
It’s almost time for Innovation's annual Holiday Market! ✨
Every year, the town of Dillsboro transforms into a winter wonderland for Lights & Luminaries —complete with horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, visits from Santa, and plenty of holiday cheer. It’s the perfect backdrop for our annual Holiday Market!
Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or treating yourself, ’tis the season to support local. We’ve got an incredible lineup of makers this year, including (but not limited to):
Cullowheegee Farms
Janette French
Morrow Leatherworks
Noya
Iron Witness Fire-Forged Knives
Jeffrica Bean Paper Goods
Starre Fired Pottery
Billie Girl Permanent Jewelry
Scott’s Food in Jars (jams, jellies, pickles, Innovation Brewing mustard & more!)
You’ll find candles, soap, art, pottery, jewelry—you name it!
We’ll also have live glassblowing demonstrations by the Dillsboro Creative Arts Park (formerly the Jackson County Green Energy Park). Their glass artists will have booths featuring handblown ornaments and other homemade treasures.
And of course, Innovation will be pouring some brand-new seasonal brews and debuting our new winter merch—you don’t want to miss it! Come hungry and grab dinner from Chili Chomper, serving until 8 PM.
We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you! 🎄
