We’re excited to bring you Kids’ Corner weekly! While you shop the Market, your kids can enjoy fun supervised activities. Just look for the sign by their tent or ask one of our team members to point you in the right direction!

Events are for children that are old enough to be able to participate in crafts, coloring, games and whatever our Kids’ Corner Team dreams up!
