For hundreds of years, night markets have been a staple tradition across many cultures for communities to socialize, celebrate the arts, try new food and find goods and gifts for loved ones.<\/p>\n

Today, that tradition carries on, especially during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

As the holidays fast approach, we found a handful of local holiday markets you can mine for unique gifts, stocking stuffers and also enjoy live music and food vendors.<\/p>\n
