Downtown New Cumberland
Merry Merchants is a festive outdoor holiday market in downtown New Cumberland featuring 40+ local makers and artists, live music, food trucks, a rescue dog mistletoe booth, and a special appearance by Santa.
Bundle up for the coziest way to support local businesses while finding one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your list!
NEW FOR 2025: FILL A TRUCK FOOD DRIVE
With SNAP benefits getting cut, our neighbors need support more than ever. We're loading up a truck with food donations right here at Merry Merchants—if you’re able, bring non-perishable items!
Every contribution helps a local family put food on the table this winter. Look for the truck parked near the market and help us fill it up!
Thanks to our sponsors!
Festive Fun

Word from the North Pole confirms that Santa has officially designated our market as his favorite pre-Christmas warm-up spot! Between perfecting his list-checking technique and supervising the elves' gift-wrapping finals, the jolly fellow insists on squeezing in a visit. Come share your wish list, snap a magical moment, and discover why Santa calls our festival his "home away from the North Pole"!
