The event supported local businesses that have struggled during the coronavirus pandemic.
Dozens of small business owners gathered at James Weldon Johnson Park for the event.
Crystal and Tommy Horton opened Seaside Slingshots at the start of March, so having the event right before Christmas was a boost to their business.
“It was definitely a really scary time to start a business,” Crystal Horton said. “Nobody anticipated what was going to happen, however, the outpouring of support has been amazing.”
