The Hudson Valley Hullabaloo Returns to Kingston November 21 & 22!

Danielle Bliss · October 30, 2026

The region's favorite holiday market brings 70+ makers and vintage vendors back to Midtown

Holiday shopping gets a lot more fun & festive this November, when 70+ makers and vintage vendors set up inside the Andy Murphy Midtown Neighborhood Center for the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo. Doors open Saturday, November 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, November 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Since 2013, the Hullabaloo has been a chance to buy gifts straight from the people who made them (and hear how they were made!). More than 60 of this year's vendors are coming back, joined by a handful of first-timers

Shoppers who've been coming for years will find, among the many familiar faces, Shoshona Snow Ceramics and her graphic carved porcelain (full of animal friends!); Fruition Chocolate Works and all their goodies; and The Ardent Homesteader with their craveable Cara-Sel salted caramel sauce. Some of this year’s newcomers include Dichotomy Home, which builds one-of-a-kind charcuterie and cutting boards; Tende Beauty, a plant-based line from Beacon; and Salix Glass handcrafts stained glass birds, butterflies, and abstract pieces.

Between booths, there's plenty more to take in:

● DJ Mr. Chips on the decks all weekend

● Tintype portraits with Tom DeLooza Photography

● Pay-what-you-want portraits from Thorneater Comics

● A holiday card you print yourself (with purchase) on Quick Brown Fox Letterpress's tabletop press

● Permanent jewelry from KING + CURATED, applied on the spot

● Samosa Shack, Phoenicia Diner, and Hole in the Wall Donuts to keep everyone fed

Admission is $2 cash at the door; kids 12 and under are free. Dogs will need to sit this one out, since City of Kingston rules don't allow them in the building.

Browse the full 2026 vendor list at https://hvhullabaloo.com/. The Hullabaloo is made possible this year by Ulster County Tourism, Catskill Crew, and R&F Handmade Paints. Businesses interested in sponsoring can reach out to hvhullabaloo@gmail.com.

Parking is tight around the Midtown Neighborhood Center, so grab a friend and carpool, or bike or walk over if you're close by. Shoppers who like a little more room to browse tend to prefer the first hour of the day and the last two hours before close.

As always, follow along on Facebook and Instagram for vendor sneak peeks and more!

Navigating the Hullabaloo: A Quick Guide for a Smooth + Fun Shopping Day

Danielle Bliss · November 19, 2025

Shopping any big market can feel overwhelming—you’ve got a few hours, a long list of gifts to find, tons of vendors to browse, and oh no… you got distracted by donuts. (Us too.) So here are a few helpful tips to make your Hullabaloo experience joyful, efficient, and delicious.

Timing Tips
If you’re not big on crowds or are immune compromised, the first hour and the last two hours of each day tend to be the quietest. And Sundays almost always see fewer attendees at markets in general, including ours. Plan to spend at least 2–3 hours shopping — more if you like to take your time, chat with makers, and soak it all in.

See Something You LOVE? Get It!
Many items are one-of-a-kind or made in small batches. If something calls your name, don’t wait — it may not be there the next time you pass by.

Parking Tips
Slower times also mean easier parking! Here’s where you can park:

A small lot at the venue
The municipal lot next to Monkey Joe’s (entrance behind the coffee shop; paid on Saturdays)
Street parking: Broadway is metered Saturdays + free Sundays; most side streets are unmetered—just watch for driveways
A municipal lot behind Eliza and Frank Guido’s—about a 5–10 minute walk

Prefer not to drive? There’s a City of Kingston bus stop right outside the venue.

A Quick Note on Sound
If you're sensitive to music, you may want to bring earplugs or headphones to soften the sound. We keep the volume comfortable, but the Hullabaloo is a party!

Entry Details
Don’t forget to bring cash for the entrance fee—$2 per adult, kids 12 and under are free. (There are no nearby ATMs.)

Snacks + Food
Market-day munchies are real, and we’ve got you covered. Hole in the Wall Donuts will be there with their addictive flavors, plus delicious food from Samosa Shack and Harana Market to keep you fueled while you shop. All of our food vendors offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices.

Save Time for Fun Extras
While you’re crossing names off your gift list, leave a little time for you, too:

Custom portrait illustrations by Thorneater Comics
Tintype portraits by photographer Tom DeLooza
Permanent jewelry pop-up
Letterpress printing with Quick Brown Fox Letterpress

Bring Your Joy & Holiday Spirit
Come ready to explore, discover, shop, snack, laugh, and be inspired. We can’t wait to see you!

Your guide to shopping 75+ makers by recipient

For the Sustainability Champion

Look for makers who prioritize eco-conscious practices. So Handmade creates practical, stylish products using sustainable materials. Better Day Glass repurposes glass into beautiful functional objects. Catskills Candle Studio uses natural waxes and sustainable practices. Touch Threads and Thistle Stitch work with sustainable fibers and thoughtful production methods. Multiple vendors emphasize locally-sourced materials, reducing environmental impact while supporting the regional economy.

Gift Idea: Accompany your gift with a note about the maker's sustainable practices—the story matters as much as the object.

For Your Hardest-to-Shop-For Teenager

Teens want cool, unique stuff their friends don't have. Boneshaker MMXII offers alternative aesthetic pieces. North Country Classics Vintage and Hyde Nor Hare, offer one-of-a-kind vintage clothing finds that help teens curate their own distinctive style.

Gift Idea: Give them cash to shop the market themselves—it's an experience gift that lets them curate their own finds.

For the Home & Design Enthusiast

PKBrown Woodworking and Ron Grieco Woodworking bring functional artistry in wood—cutting boards, bowls, and furniture pieces that become family heirlooms. Shoshona Snow Ceramics and Dale Wolfield Ceramics offer handcrafted pottery for everyday use. Table Fourteen provides curated pieces that transform dining into an experience. WARE Useful Things lives up to its name with beautiful functional objects. Abby Kirkman Quilts brings cozy, handcrafted textiles.

Gift Idea: Combine a handcrafted serving board with artisan pottery for a complete entertaining upgrade.

For the Jewelry Lover

Lu Mabey Jewelry handcrafts delicate yet striking pieces in 18kt and 14kt gold and sterling silver, using pearls and gemstones as focal points. Ann Egan Jewelry brings contemporary designs. Biti Besha Jewelry offers bold, distinctive pieces. Laurel O'Brien Jewelry creates elegant wearable art. KING + CURATED brings contemporary jewelry designs for those who appreciate modern aesthetics.

Gift Idea: For someone special, consider commissioning a custom piece or selecting something that reflects their personality rather than following trends.

Make It a Shopping Event

The Hullabaloo isn't just about checking off your list; it's about enjoying the process. DJ Mr. Chips provides the soundtrack, Harana Market, Hole in the Wall donuts, and Samosa Shack keep you fueled, and the energy of dozens of makers creates an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. Bring a friend, make it a date, or turn it into a family outing.
