MADISON – Taste of the Holidays Market will give shoppers an enormous selection of Christmas gifts, while also helping a local charitable organization.

In its fifth year, the market will be held on Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Asbury United Methodist Church, 980 Hughes Road in Madison.

Along with free admission, shoppers will receive a free cookbook (while supplies last), drawing for holiday dinner for eight, door prizes, gift wrapping and tastings of sweet/savory holiday recipes. Shoppers will find items for any budget, while children’s choirs sing carols.

“This unique food tasting and shopping experience is a popular event that’s open to our entire community and Asbury church family of over 3,000 people,” spokesperson Mary Beth Jernigan said. “This year’s market will support 305 8th Street, a local group home for underserved disabled adults in Huntsville. All booth fees will go directly to this ministry.”

Sixty-six vendors will set up in 77 booth spaces indoors at Five Points Gym, Grace Worship Center and Grace Concourse on Asbury’s campus. Shoppers can browse handmade art, crafts, jewelry, clothing, home decor and gifts, along with direct sales and home-based businesses.
