Milligan University invites the community to shop with local vendors this Christmas season at the university’s annual Advent Market on Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the lobby of Milligan’s Gregory Center.

“Milligan’s annual Advent Market is a highlight of the holiday season, where the Milligan community and our neighbors come together to celebrate local creativity and craftsmanship,” said Brealle Davis, director of campus activities and campus minister. “It is a joy to host the work of talented local artisans and provide a space for Milligan and the community to connect while shopping for the holidays.”

The market, which is free and open to the public, gives local artists a chance to present a wide array of creative items including clothing, bags, jewelry, ornaments, and a variety of other unique and handmade gifts. Various local vendors, including Desert Drifter Co, Kleo’s Handcrafted Soaps, and Stella & Cooper Co, will have booths at the market and will share in this special Christmas tradition at Milligan.
