The Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market hosted its annual holiday market Nov. 29 in Grove Park.

The weather was considerably nicer than Black Friday’s cold temperatures and brisk wind. Instead, the sun was shining and the wind was limited, which brought out shoppers and filled the park’s pathway on Small Business Saturday. This year, a holiday path was added that featured the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus, a raffle ticket area and apple cider.

Market founder and manager Pat Coluzzi said there was a record number of vendors.

This was the market’s last event for the 2025 season, but it’s only six months until the 2026 season kicks off Tuesday, May 5. For more information on the Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market, go to rbfarmersmarket.com.
