A Holiday Market of Art, Design, & Handmade Gifts

Calling all local artisans and makers! Festive Home celebrates the creativity of handcrafted goods during the holiday shopping season. We welcome jewelry, ceramics, knitwear, woodwork, stationery, paper goods, glass, ornaments, soap, fiber, and more.

Now in its 17th year, Festive Home is the Ridgefield Guild of Artists’ month-long holiday art market and eclectic holiday shopping event. The gallery features unique, one-of-a-kind items and art…the perfect gifts! 

In collaboration with local interior designers, the gallery is styled into beautifully curated vignettes, creating an inspiring backdrop for participating artists and makers.
