Holiday Bazaar 2024 - Saturday, November 23, 9-3

Noank Baptist Church's Holiday Bazaar has all of the nostalgia of a bygone era, mixed with the excitement of the upcoming holidays. This timeless celebration feels like a homecoming each year.

Move from room to room in this historic church meetinghouse, selecting from the classic jams and jellies, cheeses and candies, vintage treasures, handmade gifts, and holiday decor. Don't miss the incomparable jewelry sale with antique and modern pieces, and our homemade soups and baked goods. The bazaar will will have fresh cut greens for your wreaths and centerpieces, activities for the kids, and of course a silent auction that keeps everyone bidding right up until the last moment! Make sure to save time to enjoy the sit down luncheon with friends, and spend the afternoon in this warm and welcoming village on the bank of the Mystic River.

Kris Kringle himself will be in attendance this year: Lou Toscano, affectionately known as Mr T, who starred in Miracle on 34th Street last winter at the Granite Theater will be welcoming children in the morning to kick off the holiday season.
