Kerstmarkt seeking sponsors for upcoming season
Sentinel Staff
HOLLAND — A popular holiday market is offering unique sponsorship opportunities in downtown Holland.
The Holland Friends of Art Kerstmarkt has made tax-deductible, leveled sponsorships available through Tuesday, June 1. The intention is keeping the annual Kerstmarkt tradition alive.
Kerstmarkt — a Dutch-themed holiday market featuring unique gifts, decorations and often handmade items — began in the late 1990s. The Holland Area Visitors Bureau envisioned the market as "a new way to experience our award-winning downtown in its most magical season."
The bureau researched European holiday markets, ultimately inspiring a sponsor-funded excursion to Europe. When bureau representatives returned, they had booth blueprints to create Kerstmarkt in Holland.
