The Winter Market is the cold-weather season of the C-Street City Market, the Saturday market at the foot of the Jefferson Avenue Footbridge on Historic Commercial Street in Springfield, Missouri. Vendors bring handmade gifts, fresh-baked treats, and local favorites from makers and growers across the Springfield area.

It is the same market shoppers know from the warm months, turned toward holiday shopping. The stalls trade summer produce for the kind of things people want to unwrap: handmade goods, baked goods, and food made by the person standing behind the table.

The market has united local farmers and artists on C-Street since 2000. Shopping it keeps gift money with Springfield-area vendors, and the district’s shops, restaurants, and coffee are a short walk from the market.

Dress for an open-air market and bring a bag you do not mind filling.
