Citrus Avenue, Historic Downtown Vista (S. Citrus Ave between Main & Broadway)

Get ready to experience holiday shopping like you’ve never seen it: the Dark X-mas Market of Vista returns for its fourth year, offering a delightfully different take on the season. Inspired by European winter markets and folklore, this is where holiday cheer meets the gothic, the weird, and the wonderfully creative.

***WHAT TO EXPECT

An outdoor holiday market with local artisans and makers showcasing handcrafted goods that lean into the alternative: Norse-inspired ornaments, gothic tree décor, hand-poured herbal candles, wood-burned home décor, and other unique gifts.
A nod to ancient winter folklore: the evening culminates in the notorious WILD HUNT OF VISTA procession , costumed figures drawing on traditions of the Krampus, Alpine folklore, Scandinavian winter spirits, and more. This year welcome The Mari Beast of Vista!

Eats, treats, and libations: enjoy festive food and spiced cider, live street performances, and other surprises that make the event more than just a shopping stroll.
Family-friendly, with an educational twist: though the aesthetic might lean dark, the market embraces depth and culture , costumes, folklore explanations, and inclusive fun for all ages.

*WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT!
If the usual holiday markets feel too predictable, this event brings a fresh twist. Whether you're hunting for a one-of-a-kind gift, love to explore myth and folklore, or simply want to stroll an interesting downtown after dark , this is your holiday date night, friend outing, or family adventure. The downtown Vista setting gives it a cozy, local-community feel with a touch of theatrical flair.

*USEFUL INFO
Attending: Free admission (but we love a donation and an RSVP ) come on down anytime between 4:00 and 8:30 PM.
Location: South Citrus Avenue in downtown Vista, between Main and Broadway walkable, historic street setting.
Bring: Your open mind, your holiday spirit, and cash or card for the artisan vendors.

*TIP: Arrive earlier to browse the vendors before the procession begins , the “Wild Hunt” usually kicks off later in the evening as darkness descends.
Bonus: Costumes encouraged! If you love folklore, costuming, or just dressing up! This event welcomes the dramatic.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 13 , come support local makers, soak in some dark-holiday charm, and experience the unexpected side of the season.
