Art + Market Aurora opens for fall, indoor markets

Art + Market Aurora will be back at Society 57 for three dates this holiday season starting Saturday, Nov. 19.

The Aurora Downtown group's indoor market will feature several local makers at Society 57, 100 S. River St.

The market will be open with both food and artisan vendors for holiday shopping from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 19 and Dec. 10 and 17. The market is free to enter.

"We're excited to see the market grow. The market is now becoming a spring and fall staple, and it helps support local makers including some of our own downtown businesses," said Marissa Amoni, manager of Aurora Downtown.

Art + Market Aurora will feature artisan gifts, candles, cookies, jewelry, baked goods, body oils, and more. Each market will feature about two dozen vendors. In total, the fall markets will offer a curated selection of 60 local vendors.

Visiting vendors include Aroma Roots, Biscocho's, Sara's Custom Cookies, Tendaji Body Oils, Crystal Ship Jewelry, Treasures from Trees, Nide Jardin, and several local artisans. A local nonprofit organization joins the lineup at each market.

Aurora Downtown will sell downtown merchandise including postcards, T-shirts, and hoodies at the welcome table. On Nov. 19, a guaranteed number of Cocoa Crawl mugs and buttons will be available for sale until they sell out.

Society 57 will feature Modest Coffee, Katic Breads, and their full menu inside the coffee shop.
