CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The first-ever Downtown Commons Holiday Market got underway Saturday in Clarksville.

Holiday shoppers meandered through rows of tents in Downtown Clarksville from 9 a.m. through 2 p.m., stopping to chat with creatives and artists selling their craft works.

In addition to the vendors offering a wide range of handmade gifts and treats, local food trucks lined the adjacent street. Black Santa was also in attendance, listening to the wishes of children and adults alike underneath the big Christmas tree.

The purpose of the Holiday Market was to offer local small businesses and vendors an opportunity to engage with the community during the holiday season, according to county spokesperson Michelle Newell.
