Yorktown will hold a total of four winter markets on select Saturdays in February and March, as vendors line the waterfront to sell their locally grown, produced and crafted products.

The winter markets will be held on Feb. 11 (Valentine’s Day themed) and 25, and March 4 and 18 (St. Patrick’s Day themed) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Visitors can enjoy a cup of hot coffee or steaming soup as they shop. Local farms will sell eggs, meats and seasonal produce. Other vendors will provide a variety of baked goods; homemade candles and soaps; gourmet chocolates; scarves and mittens; flowers; spices; beautiful local art (including jewelry and woodwork), and more.

Food trucks to serve patrons will also be parked throughout the markets.

The official weekly season begins on April 8 with the Go Green Market to promote environmental sustainability, from 8 a.m. to noon.

There will be several themed markets throughout the 2023 season, many with extended hours to appeal to niche groups within the community—from animal enthusiasts to water lovers.

Beginning with the April 8 event, Yorktown Market Days will run Saturdays through the end of October, rain or shine, with the exceptions of May 6 and Oct. 7. Once the weekly season ends, there are additional extended markets that include special seafood vendors, Thanksgiving foods, visits from Santa, and many shopping opportunities.

Free parking is available at the Riverwalk Landing parking terrace, York Hall, York-Poquoson Courthouse, County Administration Building, and other designated public parking lots. The complimentary, wheelchair accessible Yorktown Trolley will also be available for the spring and summer markets, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with several stops throughout town.
