From handmade art to family-friendly fun, the December 5 - 7 event brings together local makers, food, and community spirit at Action Avenue Projects
NAPA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Rail Arts District (RAD) Napa invites the community to celebrate creativity and shop local at its third annual Holiday Market, returning to Action Avenue Projects (1621 Action Ave, Napa) from December 5–7, 2025, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. The weekend-long event showcases handcrafted art, gifts, and goods from more than 30 regional artists and makers.
Festivities begin with an Opening Reception & Silent Auction on Thursday, December 4, from 4:30–7:00 p.m., featuring wine, small bites, and an exclusive first look at works from participating artists. The evening's fundraising celebration will highlight community partners including Bella Union, Page Cellars, St. Clair Brown Winery & Brewery, Tannery Bend Beerworks and Kollar Chocolates. Throughout the weekend, Ohm Coffee Roasters and Kitchen Door will keep early shoppers fueled with coffee and breakfast treats, while the silent auction continues to raise funds in support of RAD Napa's public art initiatives.
Attendees can explore a vibrant mix of handcrafted pottery, textiles, small prints and paintings, sculptures, jewelry, soaps, jams, and finely carved wooden pieces perfect for holiday gifting, all created by artisans from Napa, Sonoma, and the Bay Area.
"Our third annual Holiday Market celebrates the creative energy that makes the Rail Arts District so unique," said Shelly Willis, Executive Director of RAD. "Each purchase supports both the artists and the ongoing transformation of Action Junction into a dynamic public art and gathering space for the community."
On Sunday, December 7, the market will celebrate "Family Day," presented in partnership with Blue Oak School. The festive afternoon will feature kid-friendly activities offering families a joyful way to connect while parents browse the market. Adding a literary twist, Napa poet Aisha Rivera will join the festivities, guiding children and families in crafting their own original holiday poems.
Proceeds from the RAD Holiday Market directly support the Rail Arts District, funding future public art installations and community programs. The event reflects the District's mission to foster creativity, connection, and dialogue through art, offering shoppers the chance to discover one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting local artists and small businesses.
Those unable to attend can still support RAD through CanDo's Napa Valley Give!Guide, which raises funds for exceptional Napa County nonprofits and fosters collaboration among community organizations. Learn more at candogiveguide.org/nonprofits/rail-arts-district-napa.
