Junior League holiday market to feature clothes, hand-crafted gifts

The Junior League of Birmingham’s holiday market, Market Noel, is celebrating its 25th year. The event returns to the Cahaba Grand Conference Center Nov. 19-21. 

More than 100 vendors from across the country will sell wares to benefit the 34 community projects of the Junior League.

Craig Skowronek of Lula Woodworks will participate in Market Noel for the first time this year.  Skowronek makes custom furniture and gifts in the basement of his Hoover home. He is especially known around town for his artisan cutting boards that can be used for chopping, serving or displaying. 

General admission shopping for Market Noel is open 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday.

A Preview Noel party and a Man Cave will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. They will feature hors d’oeuvres, drinks, giveaways, a silent auction and entertainment. Highlights of the week include a Girls’ Night Out on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. and a fashion show, Rock the Runway, on Saturday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Tickets for the fashion show include food and drinks.
