Family Friendly Events—January

It’s the time of year when most of us just want to stay inside, cozied up next to the warm fireplace. But… there are opportunities to get you out of the house. Take a look at what’s happening for the month of January.

Indoor Holland Farmers Market

Every Saturday in January
9:00am–1:00pm
Holland Civic Center Place, Holland

As the winter weather persists, the beloved farmers market moves inside. You can still plan for a stroll through nearly 75 vendors that offer a selection of locally grown fruits, veggies, flowers, and more at the Holland Farmers Market
