Bringing back the ‘Harlem of the West’ - an unforgettable Third Annual Fillmore Holiday Night Market!

Over 3000 attendees kept the party rolling – there was something for everyone all across the Fillmore.

The theme of the night was abundance: of food, laughter, and joy. This year’s market featured free cookies and hot chocolate, a toy giveaway and live snow and arts and crafts for the kids. For people looking to pick up last-minute holiday gifts, a variety of Black- and brown-owned retail businesses had booths set up to sell their wares. And, of course, there was plenty of food, with vendors selling everything from oxtails and fried fish to banana pudding.
