## About

A one-day holiday market on the Island at Dana Point Harbor, set up near the Richard Henry Dana Jr. statue. More than 50 local makers and small vendors sell gifts, and the day includes live music and kids' crafts. The harbor describes it as both pet-friendly and kid-friendly. It falls on the Saturday before Christmas and runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Island, where the harbor's holiday decorations and light installations are on display. Little Folk Club's holiday music session for young children is scheduled on the Island the same day. The market is organized by Dana Point Harbor with Modern Makers Mart.
