Find something special for everyone on your list—and enjoy a little holiday magic along the way.
The Motherlode Holiday Market brings together 25+ talented local vendors from Leadville and the surrounding region for three festive days of shopping, music, and community. Stroll through FREIGHT’s historic depot and courtyard, sip seasonal cocktails and mocktails, grab a bite from our food vendors, and browse unique gifts to the sound of live holiday music.
It’s something special when so many creative makers come together in one place. Last year’s market featured handcrafted jewelry, small-batch skincare, cozy mountain-made blankets, wildcrafted herbs, infused honeys, artisan cheese, woodwork, stained glass, crochet creations, functional pottery, upcycled goods, handmade journals, and so much more. Come discover what this year’s makers have in store!
