Description
This holiday season, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership (PDP) is pleased to offer an expanded shopping experience through the new Merry Marketplace. Located just steps away from the Peoples Gas Holiday Market, the Merry Marketplace invites shoppers to explore a curated array of artisan vendors in a dedicated tent within Market Square. For three weekends only, this unique space will bring together local and international vendors offering a wide selection of high-quality goods—from handcrafted jewelry and artisanal spices, to distinctive home decor and unique gifts.
Featuring a vibrant selection of vendors from around the region, the Merry Marketplace proudly spotlights the rich cultural diversity of Pittsburgh’s immigrant communities and the talent and creativity they bring to the city. From intricately hand-cut 3D cards inspired by Vietnamese techniques to vividly woven textiles and scarves from West Africa, the Merry Marketplace brings exceptional craftsmanship and artistry from around the world.
“The Merry Marketplace gives people even more ways to shop small this season, while providing an inclusive platform for small businesses to connect with new audiences and join this beloved holiday tradition,” said Jeremy Waldrup, President and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. “Every vendor brings a unique story, making this year’s holiday shopping experience truly memorable.”
Set against the charming chalets and festive atmosphere of the People’s Gas Holiday Market, the Merry Marketplace is made possible in part through the support of BNY, whose generosity brought hundreds of hours of programming to Market Square that benefit small businesses throughout the year. Don’t miss the chance to experience the best of Pittsburgh’s local and global offerings this holiday season—all in one festive, convenient location.
