Alternative Christmas Market

Cathedral of the Rockies’ Downtown Campus will be hosting a Christmas market for local nonprofits on Saturday, November 16th from 11 am to 3 pm and Sunday, November 17th from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm in the lobby outside of the Emmaus Center and the Bishop’s Lounge, and in the Fellowship Hall.

The Alternative Christmas Market is an open market that Cathedral hosts each year in November. Local nonprofits set up booths to sell ethically made goods and trinkets to raise funds for their community outreach programs. Supported vendors include Interfaith Sanctuary, Habitat for Humanity, Faces of Hope, and Artisans for Hope. All profits made from the Alternative Christmas market go back into their programs. On Saturday, November 16th only, the Alternative Christmas Market will also host a scratch-made bread and soup lunch in the Fellowship Hall! Everyone is invited to eat and enjoy lunch together while they shop!

The Alternative Christmas Market is a great place to do unique Christmas shopping while supporting local non-profits at the same time. Whether your passion is for making a difference with housing insecurity, food insecurity, foster children, refugees, fair trade goods, animals, support for victims of abuse, or education of young children, there is an organization you can support and learn more about!
