WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. — If you're looking to get a jumpstart on your Easter shopping, Eastern Hills Mall is the place to be.
Starting this Saturday and Sunday, March 19 & 20 and running every weekend through Easter is the 2nd Annual Off-Broadway Farmers & Artisans Market.
“Last year we welcomed 33 holiday vendors to our first Off-Broadway Farmers &Artisans Market, some who were unable to setup their traditional booths at the Broadway Market due to COVID restrictions,” said mall manager Russell Fulton. “Not only was that inaugural market an outstanding success, it generated renewed community support of the Eastern Hills Mall, resulting in a 20% increase in the number of our regular retailers over the last year.
"That’s why we are pleased to announce our second annual Off-Broadway Farmers and Artisans Market, with an increased number of vendors--- led off by Kelly’s Country Store and Buffalo Artisans and Food Traders--- alongside our expanded group of retailers.”
The event features an array of 70 artisans and food vendors selling crafts, baked goods and other gifts and treats, joining the mall's 66 retailers.
On April 1 & 2, the market will host the Hope Project Easter Festival featuring pictures with the Easter bunny, crafts, games and an Easter egg hunt.
The Off-Broadway Farmers & Artisans Market will operate every Saturday and Sunday through April 16. Mall hours are 10 AM-4 PM Saturdays, Noon-5 PM Sundays and 10 AM- 6PM Easter weekend.
