Jingle Mingle Brings Local Art, Holiday Shopping & Family Fun to Rocky Mount
The holiday season is right around the corner, and Rocky Mount is welcoming an opportunity to shop local, support regional artists, and enjoy a day of family-friendly activities!
On Saturday, November 14, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, members of the Tar River Arts Collaborative (TRAC) are partnering with the North Carolina Children's Museum, formerly known as the Imperial Centre for the Arts and Sciences, to host the annual Jingle Mingle Artisan Market at 270 Gay Street in Rocky Mount.
The free event will showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of local and regional artists, offering shoppers a chance to find unique, affordable gifts while supporting the talented individuals who contribute to our community's arts and culture. Visitors can explore everything from photography and woodworking to jewelry, stained glass, textile art, paintings, and more.
Beyond holiday shopping, Jingle Mingle highlights the importance of supporting local artists and the role they play in our community. Events like this provide opportunities for artists to share their work, connect with residents, and showcase the creativity found throughout our region.
Families can also enjoy free admission to the North Carolina Children's Museum during the event, including the current Curious George: Let's Get Curious exhibit. Visitors are also encouraged to explore the Art Museum galleries, featuring Common Ground: Shared Stories Through Craft and Art That Tells a Story, both from the Art Museum's Permanent Collection.
With food vendors, door prizes from participating artists, and plenty to explore, Jingle Mingle offers something for the whole family while bringing the community together to celebrate local creativity.
Whether you're searching for a one-of-a-kind holiday gift or simply looking for a fun way to spend your Saturday, Jingle Mingle is a great opportunity to support local artists and experience what our community has to offer.
The event is free and open to the public!
