Norwich, CT: The holidays are right around the corner and that means it’s time to shop local and shop small to celebrate the holidays. The Greater Norwich Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to once again invite 65+ Vendors and Crafters with an array of items such as clothing and accessories, art, pottery, and much more to fill your holiday needs.

Looking for unique gift items for your friends and family this holiday season? Then mark your calendar for the annual GNACC Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and support Small Business Saturday. You’ll be supporting reinvesting in your community by shopping local and finding great one-of-a-kind gifts made by artists and artisans right here in Eastern Connecticut.

While you're there shopping, don’t forget to stop into our Santa’s Workshop for complimentary cookies and hot chocolate (courtesy of the Holiday Inn, Norwich), fill out a holiday card for your local veterans and seniors, and get your gifts wrapped while the kids are enjoying a fun craft project.

Support our local families in need! Bring an unwrapped toy and get entered for a chance to win a Dinner for Two and an Overnight Stay at Mohegan Sun! There will also be photos with Santa, raffles, holiday music, and live radio broadcasts from our friends from Soft Rock 106.5 WBMW-FM. We are also excited to have A Lil’ Love Mini Therapy Horse there to take their photo with YOU!

Additional broadcast sponsors include Rose City Financial Services, Two Sisters Shipping & Business Center, and These Guys Brewing.
