The second edition of the Winter Wonderland Holiday Market was held this past Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Lebanon Paper Box building (“Boxie”) and LebTown was there to capture it.

The market runs each Saturday through the end of the month, featuring a full slate of vendors, artists, and concessions available to the public.

There are three places to park. The best way to enter the parking areas is from Willow Street, but access is also available from Cumberland and Jones Streets. You’ll find signage directing you upon arrival to the site.

Welcome sign at the Lebanon Paper Box Winter Wonderland Holiday Market, which will take place each Saturday from noon to 8:00 p.m. through the end of December.

Christmas trees are also available as part of the Holiday Market, with trees for sale Sunday – Friday 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays from noon to 9 p.m. And in case you were wondering, no, the spotted lanternfly is not going to be a grinch for Christmas trees this holiday season.
