The Holiday Festival, organized by Newtown Youth & Family Services, introduced a new event this year: the Outdoor Holiday Market & Stroll on Sunday, December 5.
The sidewalk area along Main Street, from Edmond Town Hall towards the C.H. Booth Library, was sprinkled with various vendors selling everything from candles to jewelry to ornaments.
Shoppers of all ages visited the booths to do some holiday shopping of handmade goods. There were also food merchants and The Fairfield Gaelic Pipe Band performed.
Santa Claus was also on site, next to the red trolley outside Edmond Town Hall, for photos and conversations ahead of Christmas.
