Moore Square Winterfaire

Step into a world of holiday magic this December as Raleigh Parks, in partnership with the MAKRS Society, presents the Moore Square Winterfaire - a four-day holiday market with a uniquely Raleigh flair.

From Dec. 11-14, Moore Square will transform into a festive destination filled with local makers and artisans, delicious food trucks, a cozy beer garden, live music and performances, holiday crafts, games, and a visit from Santa himself.

Inspired by the charm of traditional Holiday markets, Moore Square Winterfaire brings a North Carolina twist to the experience - blending Southern hospitality, creative spirit, and community celebration in the heart of downtown Raleigh.

This event is free to attend and open to all ages. Visitors can stroll through twinkling lights, shop for handcrafted gifts, enjoy local flavors, and make new memories in one of Raleigh's most beloved urban parks.
