The Market’s generous sponsors, as well as our new partnerships with the Niagara Falls Conference Center, Jingle Falls USA, American Express’ Small Business Saturday and Yelp Buffalo have allowed us to include a wide range of local music and free holiday craft events for kids. Food and beverage will be available at the Conference Center.
LiveNF is also partnering with the Niagara Falls Housing Authority and its Packard Court Community Center to feature 20 youth vendors at the Makers Market. These young entrepreneurs have graduated from the Kids Business Fair Program, providing a new way to “Shop Small” for the holidays.
