The market will feature 50 local vendors, food trucks, treats in the Jingle Bell Bistro and pictures with Santa (by appointment only!). Shoppers will get into the joy of the season as they shop in a festive atmosphere, which will include holiday music and décor at Roane County’s largest event center, The Barn at Maple Creek in Kingston. With so many vendors in one spot, this event will make early holiday shopping a breeze! The Roane Chamber will also be kicking off its annual Shopping Spree Contest at the Jingle & Mingle Market, giving shoppers the chance to enter the contest at participating vendors.

Keep your energy up with teas and shakes in the Jingle Bell Bistro, enjoy lunch from one of two food trucks, or satisfy that sweet tooth by grabbing a dessert from local bakers! We will have tables and chairs on the lawn for you to rest your feet while you fill up your bellies and corn hole boards to keep you entertained if you happen to be waiting.

Shoppers will receive a program and map with a list of vendors and their booth locations, so you don't miss a thing. Multiple vendors will be running specials, deals, and discounts only available to individuals who shop at the Jingle & Mingle Market!

"We were so happy with the overwhelming support of the Jingle & Mingle Market last year!

We encourage everyone to come out to this event to support these local businesses by getting an early start on your Christmas shopping!"
