Eric Adams launches first Holiday Market Village in Downtown Brooklyn
Thursday, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams formally launched the inaugural Holiday Market Village in Columbus Park, located in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn. The seasonal market, organized and operated by the Congress of Racial Equity (CORE), opened at the beginning of this month and will operate through Christmas Eve. Kiosk operators selling items including art, jewelry and clothing include locally-based vendors, as well as minority- and women-owned small businesses, furthering Borough President Adams’ commitment to support these enterprises. Proceeds will be used to support CORE’s work in the community.
“‘Tis the season to shop, and what better way to do it than to support local vendors right here in Downtown Brooklyn?” said Borough President Adams. “I am sure Brooklynites and visitors alike will find some great stocking stuffers at this outdoor marketplace, all while investing their dollars in small businesses that serve as the backbone of our borough.”
