The Holy City Holiday Market is hosted by The Event Cooperative. The Event Cooperative is a full-service event planning company based in Charleston, South Carolina. The first Holy City Holiday Market was held in 2015 with 16 vendors in the parking lot at Holy City Brewing. The idea for the market blossomed after co-hosting a creative event series that celebrated local makers with industry friends. The market has since expanded to host a pop-up vendor village in the Park Circle area with 200+ small businesses participating each year.
