Riverbend District Hosts Festive Holiday Market Sat. 12/14/24

The holiday season will come alive in the heart of the Riverbend District in Harrison NJ as the Riverbend Holiday Market and Community Gathering lights up the Riverbend Pocket Park at 1200 South 5th Street on Saturday, December 14, 2024. The event, from 12 noon to 5 p.m., promises a day filled with holiday cheer, artisan vendors, live music, food, drinks, and the magic of a festive tree lighting ceremony.

Nestled between the Cobalt Lofts and the Steelworks building, the Riverbend Pocket Park will transform into a winter wonderland, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the management teams from The Cobalt Lofts, Steelworks, The Wyldes, and Vermella Harrison. These vibrant communities, spanning four city blocks within Harrison’s Riverbend District, have worked together to bring residents and visitors a celebration designed to spread warmth and joy.

A Celebration of the Season

The Riverbend Holiday Market will feature an array of artisan vendors offering unique, handcrafted goods that make perfect holiday gifts. Guests can enjoy delicious seasonal food and drinks while Black Magic DJs spin festive tunes that will set the perfect mood for this special occasion.

Adding to the magic, Faithful Hound Productions will be onsite offering Pet Photos with Santa. Pet owners are invited to bring their furry friends to create a cherished holiday memory. The afternoon will culminate in the lighting of the holiday tree—a moment certain to bring smiles and foster a sense of togetherness.

Faithful Hound Productions was founded by photographer and animal lover David White. David White combines over 30 years of fine art and commercial photography experience with his love of animals to create unique portraits of man’s best friend.  David is inspired by historical references and art to create his unique vision.
