​

Buffalo Collective has a rich history of investing in the Buffalo Community. Over the last 8 years owners Colleen Pandy & Jillian Cannan, have been working to keep their small business small and local. When COVID hit, the company had to shift focus. As a social experience based business, the struggle during the shutdown lingered. In early spring Loaded Lumber decided to host a Summer Market series, featuring local artisans, food trucks and vendors to showcase their items every Saturday at the flagship downtown location. It has been a SMASHING success! Located at the beautifully expansive Front Park, the Buffalo Holiday Market has proven each week that the people of Buffalo are ready to embrace a special shopping event in its city. Buffalo loves their festivals, and this experience has once again proven that. 

 

Collen and Jill are both Veteran spouses, and Colleen lived in Europe during the holiday season where she was captivated by their Christmas Markets. Always wishing Buffalo could one day have a similar experience, she and Jill decided it was time! Bringing our experience as business owners, and a successful market, the interest in our Holiday Market is exploding overnight.

 

The Buffalo Holiday Market in partnership with Buffalo Collective, The City of Buffalo, The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, P.U.N.T., and Hope Rises will be featuring vendors from across the area showcasing their artisan products, visits from Santa , special musical guests and of course mulled wine, beer and hot cocoa. We believe your company would be the perfect fit to sponsor the market through a chalet, kids zone, Santa or one of our special events - there are a number of opportunities available! You too can be a part of the magic this holiday season.

​

This year we are Thrilled to partner with the City of Buffalo and the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy.

Located at Front Park, it is one of the most storied and scenic spaces in all of Buffalo, and we are thrilled

to bring our community together in it.

Front Park sits on 50 acres along the Lake Erie waterfront with sweeping views of the Niagara River opening.

It's the kind of backdrop that makes a spring market feel like an occasion, not just a shopping trip.

Bring your mom, bring a blanket, and enjoy the views between vendor stops.
