Toms River Holiday Market To Feature Local Vendors and Craft Spirits in December

The Holiday Jingle Sip & Shop Craft & Vendor Market happens at Garden State Distillery on Sunday, Dec. 7. Doors open at noon. It wraps up at 4 p.m. Admission costs nothing, and kids can come.

Visitors will find products from artisan crafters, creative vendors, and entrepreneurs who live nearby. Handmade goods fill the tables. Home décor catches the eye. One-of-a-kind gifts and snacks await discovery.

Garden State Distillery pours signature spirits and cocktails during the market. Small-batch whiskeys get made on-site. Vodkas and other drinks, too.

This event backs local makers and small businesses as holiday shopping ramps up. Downtown Toms River hosts the gathering as part of its seasonal offerings.

Shoppers can cross off names from their gift lists here. The market provides an option outside big-box stores and websites.

The distillery gives room for browsing and sipping. Attendees wander between vendor booths and the bar all afternoon.

Local makers will display their creations next to established small shops. The variety means shoppers see different prices and designs under one roof.

Blending shopping with spirits sets this market apart from regular craft fairs. Attendees can turn it into an afternoon outing instead of a quick errand.

Garden State Distillery sits at 13 Washington St. in Toms River. The spot is downtown, with parking close by. No tickets needed. Families can show up together, but only adults 21+ can drink alcohol.
