For more than 40 years, the Virginia Beach Christmas Market has celebrated the art of American craftsmanship and the spirit of small business. What began as a humble country craft shop near the Virginia Beach Farmers Market has evolved into one of the nation’s top-rated artisan shows, honored multiple times by Sunshine Artist Magazine among the “200 Best Classic and Contemporary Craft Shows in the U.S.” Today, the market welcomes over 175 talented artisans and crafters from across the country, featuring everything from hand-thrown pottery and hand-carved woodwork to jewelry, fiber arts, stained glass, toys, and thousands of one-of-a-kind holiday collectibles.
Generations of creators have made this event a tradition — with many second-generation artisans now carrying forward the legacy of handmade excellence. Every booth tells a story, offering affordable, meaningful, and original gifts that embody creativity and craftsmanship. Visitors are encouraged to “shop small” and support independent makers whose dedication and artistry represent the best of America’s entrepreneurial spirit.
