What winter holiday season would be complete without exciting outdoor events to connect with friends and family and shop from local vendors? Ball & Socket Arts is delighted to announce the return Holiday @ the Factory, on December 14th from 1-5 pm at Ball & Socket Arts (493 West Main Street, Cheshire, CT 06410).
Extended parking will be available next door at the Municipal Trail lots along Railroad Avenue.
This family-friendly outdoor holiday stroll will feature:
· Ice carving demonstration from ICE MATTERS

· Transforming, a new photo exhibition in the Workshop Gallery and a full display of all the Silent Art Auction pieces
· Tour Artsplace in their space upstairs in Building 2
· Delicious Food Vendors including the return of Crispy Melty’s truck, the Wright Way Burgers Truck, along with pop-ups from neighborhood favorites:’s and Pop’s. Sweets will be on offer too from Amy's Cakes!

· Live Music from local favorites curated by Joel Renker
· Craft & gift sales from fantastic artisan makers throughout the site for stocking stuffers and last minute gifts.
We can’t wait to see you there! Be sure to dress WARM as the bulk of this event will be outdoors.
