Holidays at Hurricane is returning for its fifth year to Hurricane Creek Elementary. The community event hosts over 60 vendors from across central Arkansas with over 1,000-plus shoppers expected.
Local vendors have the opportunity to sell the items they create and introduce new items to shoppers. Vendors will showcase jewelry, home and holiday decor, children’s items, fashion, handbags, plus much more. A bake sale and silent auction are also part of the two-day shopping tradition.
The event kicks off with a Ladies Night Out on Friday, Dec. 5, from 6-9 p.m., and the doors open to everyone on Saturday, Dec. 6, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Holidays at Hurricane is sponsored by the Hurricane Creek PTO, which uses the proceeds to purchase playground equipment as well as provide activities for students.
“Holidays at Hurricane is truly a school-wide effort,” said Jennifer Carlton, PTO secretary. “Our students and staff design class baskets for the silent auction. Students create the decorations and teachers volunteer their time to bake items and work at the event. We invite everyone to come out and do some holiday shopping.”
Admission is $3 for adults and children 12 and under free. An armband for two-day admission is $5. For more information, visit hces.bryantschools.org.
