First Coast Cultural Center sets Holiday Shoppes Event

The 33rd Annual Holiday Shoppes will be held at First Coast Cultural Center Nov. 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a media release. The event features local artists, craftspeople, and unique holiday gifts, including shoes, fine jewelry, fashion items, home accessories and holiday decorations.

“We are excited to host Holiday Shoppes for the first time at our new location,” said Kimberly Sheridan, FCCC’s Events and Programs Manager, in the release. Sheridan said the event was put on hold last year due to their move to a new location at 6000B Sawgrass Village Circle in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Among the vendors are Charleston Shoe Company, JD’s Creation, Kathy’s Accessories, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Old Colony Woodworks, Peruvian Accent, and Short Dog Jewelry. FCCC’s Gift Shop will also be open.

“There is something special about receiving a one-of-a-kind gift,” said Donna Guzzo, FCCC President and CEO, in the release. “Purchasing through Holiday Shoppes supports local artisans and crafters, and proceeds help fund the Cultural Center’s programs for students in St. Johns County schools.”
