🎄 The Holiday Event That Turns a Factory Into a Festive Wonderland

You know those holiday villages in snow globes?
The ones where people stroll around smiling, drinking warm drinks, browsing handmade goodies, and chatting with artists?

Yeah… that’s basically the vibe at GoggleWorks’ Handcrafted Holiday Market, happening:

Friday, December 5 — 5–8 p.m.

Saturday, December 6 — 10 a.m.–4 p.m.

One minute you’re walking into a former factory…
The next minute it’s transformed into a buzzing holiday market packed with:

Local makers

Demos and workshops

Food, drinks, and live comedy

Gallery strolls

Kids’ creative zones

A festive energy you can actually feel

On Friday night, the party starts with shopping, food from At Tasha’s Table, and “A Very Berks Holiday” by Fotis & Fotis — a comedy show that sells out every time.

On Saturday, the building becomes a full-blown creative playground with workshops, demos, and the return of the wildly popular Studio Artist Ornament Sale.

And with pay-what-you-wish admission (suggested donation $15), the holiday cheer also supports youth scholarships and art programs that keep creativity thriving in Reading.

So whether you’re shopping, crafting, laughing, sipping coffee, supporting artists, or just soaking in that small-town-holiday-movie atmosphere…
you’re going to want to be here.
