Archbold launched its holiday season in high spirits today as the annual Holly Jolly Market filled the Ruihley Park Pavilion, offering a community-driven start to a holiday-filled day.
Held Friday, November 28, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., visitors were drawn by handmade goods, festive treats, and the unmistakable small-town magic that marks the season in Archbold.
Inside the pavilion, local vendors transformed into a cozy marketplace filled wall-to-wall with different small businesses.
Shoppers found handcrafted wooden decor, crocheted items, and a wide spread of Christmas crafts. This included decorated holiday books, custom wreaths, and more.
Several food-based vendors were also on hand, with home bakeries, sourdough makers, and unique sweet treats.
The market was one piece of a larger schedule of events taking place throughout Archbold on the 28th. Held in conjunction with Archbold’s Christmas FEST, it kicked off the downtown’s full day of activities.
