## **Small Mart Holiday Market** Shop small and celebrate the season with us. Small Mart brings together over 40 artisan, maker, and vintage vendors offering unique, thoughtfully made gifts. You’ll find hand-printed art, cozy ceramics, standout vintage fashion, and locally crafted goods that make giving (and shopping) feel good. This year we’re expanding into the mezzanine of the Somerville Theatre, adding even more vendors, treasures, and reasons to stop by. The Crystal Ballroom is located above the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square, just steps from the Red Line T-Stop. Full bar available, and as always, entry is free.
