## About

On the first Saturday of December the Cummer Museum's Front Lawn Market becomes a Holiday Market: an open-air market of local artisans and makers selling handcrafted gifts. It runs during Free First Saturday, so families get free museum admission from 10 am to 4 pm and can pair gift shopping with the galleries and the riverfront gardens. A relaxed, low-cost outing for all ages; strollers work well on the lawn and garden paths.
