Winter Market items

January 19, 2023

     Need to get some fresh air and do some shopping at the same time? Bundle up and head to Yorktown's winter markets! On select Saturdays in February and March from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., vendors and artists will line the waterfront selling locally grown, produced, and crafted products. 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 will also be parked to serve patrons throughout the markets.

Valentine chocolates

     The winter markets are held February 11 (Valentine’s Day), February 25, March 4, and March 18 (St. Patrick’s Day) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

     The official weekly season begins on April 8 with the Go Green Market to promote environmental sustainability, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. 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! 

2023 Themed Markets

     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 October 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 convenient stops throughout town. 

     Special thanks to the 2023 market sponsors Barn Raising Sponsor State Farm Agent Mark Irwin, Cultivator Sponsor Raising Cane’s and Harvester Sponsor Amory Funeral Home. Yorktown Market Days is presented by York County and the Riverwalk Landing Business Association.
