The Moonlight Market, presented by Jenna Alexander Studio and Sunday Gathering Table, will be held 5-9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at 73 San Marco Ave., St. Augustine. Admission is free.
This evening market celebrates local creatives by bringing together artists and art lovers to peruse and purchase unique artisan items, including handmade goods, art, ceramics and vintage items. DJ Zach Engh spins mood music, while Sunday serves up fresh burgers with vegetable jardiniere. A market highlight is the release of Jenna Alexander’s third annual St. Augustine holiday illustration.
“I love capturing our sweet town in a whimsical illustration,” said Alexander. “This year’s artwork highlights St. Augustine’s hallmarks — bricked paths, historic church architecture, the Bridge of Lions and the twinkling holiday lights. A super fun way to enjoy this year’s artwork is with a custom 500-piece puzzle! The illustration will also come as an 8-by-10 and 11-by-14 print and a 5-by-7 postcard. As a special treat, I busted out my puzzles from 2022 and 2023 and added this year’s to create a limited Christmas bundle.”
The Moonlight Market will feature almost 30 local vendors, including some new, first-time artisans. The SoulShine Co. of Orlando offers cheery prints, stickers, cards, totes and more. Kelly Evans creates utterly original ceramics from her College Park space, Invisible Twin Studio. St. Augustine’s own RIG ReInvented Goods makes durable and classy bags using recycled materials in an array of styles and prints. Jon and Jess of grumpshine candles pour imaginative candles using sustainable materials and healthful intent.
Vendors are curated and selected by a jury of creative directors. For event information, go to jenna-alexander.com/pages/moonlight-market.
“In addition to creating a spread to enjoy during the market, we’ll be offering some of our scrumptious staples to take home,” said Misty Lake, owner of Sunday. “No true Southern larder is complete without loaves of sourdough bread, fresh preserves and tangy pickles.”
