Kirkwood's Annual Christmas Market

Since 1996, the Annual Christmas Market has lifted individuals and families in need through the giving spirit of our shoppers. Market visitors are invited to wander from booth to booth where they are introduced to nonprofit organizations.

Representatives eagerly wait to explain the important and necessary services their agency provides around our community and beyond. Christmas Market guests learn how far nonprofits can stretch every donation dollar they raise. The participating organizations appreciate the rare opportunity to be together in one place for a whole morning, so they can network and collaborate on how to better serve their clients.

Our Market shoppers leave uplifted by the good works nonprofits are busy doing. As an added bonus, each nonprofit helps stock our Cookie Room, which fills the air with the sweet aromas of holiday sweets. It is in this warm holiday spirit that guests find missions which are personally meaningful and give their chosen nonprofits a gift of love via a charitable donation. One hundred percent of all donations go to the organization(s) selected by Market supporters.

Avenue941 will have a table where you can purchase gifts made by our students or other items to help support the students of Manatee County.
