Water Street Tampa To Host Holiday Promenade Christmas Market This Week

Water Street Tampa will host The Holiday Promenade on Thursday, Dec. 11. The district transforms into a Christmas marketplace for one night. It runs from 5-9 p.m. and costs nothing to attend.

More than 40 local makers and artisans will sell handmade gifts at the gathering. Shoppers can browse knits, candles, jewelry, art, and gourmet snacks spread across the district.

Snow will fall from above during the evening. Musicians perform live throughout the night as people shop and wander the area.

A dedicated space serves food and drinks inspired by traditional Christmas markets. Visitors can purchase mulled wine, hot cocoa, and festive bites while they browse the stalls and enjoy the atmosphere.

Holiday lights will illuminate the district during the four-hour event. People can examine items from dozens of vendors, listen to live music, and watch simulated snowfall drift down around them.

The one-night market gives people a place to find gifts for their holiday shopping lists. Each vendor offers unique items crafted by local artisans and creators.

Admission to the Holiday Promenade is free, and the event welcomes all ages.
