It’s getting close to that time of year when we start making lists, hiding presents in places we hope we don’t forget and drinking way too much eggnog. Instead of getting your loved ones the same-old thing off some site online, head to one of these local holiday markets and bazaars where handcrafted items support our neighbors! Here is the 2024 holiday markets and bazaars in Skagit County.
