## About

For five days in early December, Descanso Gardens sets up a holiday market of local makers on its Main Lawn in La Cañada Flintridge. Stalls carry handmade jewelry, artisan pottery, botanical gifts, plants and other handmade items. The daytime market runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and is included with regular garden admission or membership. The same market reopens from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. inside Enchanted: Forest of Light, where it is included with an Enchanted ticket. Descanso lists the market under its Families & Kids events; there are no separate market tickets.
