UTC’s Night Market occurs every third Thursday of the month, but it’s transforming for the holidays and bearing cozy, festive vibes. The outdoor event will feature live music performed by Keith James Band, a visit from jolly old Santa, 60+ vendors and seasonal drinks and treats. The event will be on Dec. 19 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

While sipping your seasonal treats and trotting between the various artisanal vendors, patrons can take in the stunning light displays decking out The Green. Every 30 minutes between 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., the magical light display evokes the sights and sounds of the season, making UTC a must-visit.

If you cannot attend the Night Market, you can still enjoy the light show which occurs daily during the aforementioned times and intervals.

UTC is a sprawling wonderland

Besides the night market, UTC contains loads of seasonal fun. Watch holiday movies under the stars every Friday and Saturday until Jan. 4, soak in the light displays while riding in a horse-drawn carriage or lace up your ice skates and glide laps around the outdoor ice rink.

If you are in the mood for more than the treats offered at the Night Market, catch a bite at one of UTC’s many eateries. There’s Cheesecake Factory, Naked Farmer, Apollonia Mediterranean Grill, among many more casual and fine dining options. Check out UTC’s complete list of eateries here.
