The Hometown Christmas Artisan Craft Market, a special edition of Favored Conference and Events Artisan Craft Markets in partnership with the Kernersville Museum Foundation and the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce, transforms downtown Kernersville into a true old-fashioned Christmas celebration—where everything comes alive with twinkling lights, hometown pride, and holiday cheer around every corner.
As part of Kernersville's Hometown Christmas, this festive market features local artisans, seasonal shopping, food trucks, and more. Downtown during the market there will be carolers, Santa Claus, and the beloved annual Christmas Tree Lighting (7–8 PM at Town Hall), the lighted flower displays with hot cocoa, donuts, and live performances from local choirs and musicians. Guests can use trolley rides throughout the evening—bringing the entire downtown into one glowing Christmas experience.
