The joy of holiday shopping
returns to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, Building 77, on
December 4th and 5th, from
noon – 5 pm.
Enjoy browsing goods
from local artists and manufacturers.
There will be 25
stalls, with plenty of gifts for
everyone on your list. In addition,
there are places to eat
and drink, as well as special
programming that offers lots
of seasonal fun for the entire
family.
For example, on Saturday,
there is an opportunity to
meet local artists and learn
some new skills, for nominal
fees. Every hour there will
be a unique offering, such as
learning how to create your
own stools from recycled materials
or how to create your
own ceramic mask. Holiday
Screen Printing is also offered.
These classes not only
enhance your skills, but
what you create can make a
thoughtful, handmade holiday
gift.
It all takes place amid
live music by Apache Brown
Band, and a backdrop of festive
lights and holiday cheer.
Sunday is Family Day,
with a focus on kid-friendly
activities. One event is provided
by Brooklyn Book Bodega,
a nonprofit organization
at the Navy Yard whose
mission is to provide children
with access to books, and to
encourage book ownership.
They will offer Story Time
and book giveaways. Kids
will also have the chance to
decorate holiday ornaments
and cookies, and to make
cards. A DJ will be on hand
to play seasonal favorites.
There will be ice skating
from noon – 4 pm, for a nominal
fee.
In short, it will be a day
that promises to create wonderful
family memories for
all!
While surrounded by all
this excitement, shoppers
can shop ‘til they drop, choosing
from a selection of home
goods, fashion accessories,
artistic items, and wellness
and skin products for everyone
on their gift list. Businesses
on hand will include
Annie’s Ginger Elixir, Camos
Handbags Inc., Carrie Bilbo
Jewelry, Gregoire Ganter
Photography, Hip Hop Closet,
INC, Jaleesa Parris Beauty,
Kings Country Distillery,
Kitsby, Lio&Linn, MoNoCo
Design, Nick Golebiewski
Studio, Rooftop Reds, and
Scully’s Wonderful Stuff Inc.,
to name a few.
There are sweet treats to
purchase for party hosts and
colleagues, as well as vintage,
modern, and eclectic gifts for
those who seemingly have everything.
This is the Navy Yard’s
4th annual event; it’s first live
one since 2019, says Johanna
Greenbaum, Chief Developer
Officer at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, so don’t miss the fun!
The events are indoors,
for the most part, so proof of
vaccination is required for
everyone over age 12. Masks
need to be worn when indoors.
If you can’t make this
year’s event in person, you
can still shop for wonderful
items on line:
