POINT LOMA \u2013 All Souls\u2019 Episcopal Church<\/a> in Point Loma is holding its sixth annual Christmas Marketplace on Saturday, Dec. 6.<\/p>\n

All Souls\u2019 spokesperson Rosemary C. Barnes said that the Christmas Marketplace replaced the original annual church fundraiser, a Point Loma home tour that ended with the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support a variety of charitable outreaches to local organizations that need assistance,\u201d she said, adding that some funds also go toward the church\u2019s international projects.<\/p>\n

The fundraising event<\/a>, which is always held on the first Saturday in December, will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1475 Catalina Blvd., both outside and inside the church on its campus.<\/p>\n

Step indoors to Gooden Hall to experience a pantry packed with jams, jellies, cookies, Christmas breads, and other tasty homemade delights. Shoppers can feast on all manner of handcrafted items, gifts for all ages, as well as elegant, unique decorations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can also meet this year\u2019s All Souls\u2019 Christmas Mouse, a church tradition for over 55 years. This popular item sells out early at the marketplace.\u00a0The mouse\u2019s identity remains a mystery until event day on Dec. 6.<\/p>\n

Guests can try refreshments, including tea and cookies, while being entertained with musical offerings. There are also fun events, including a bounce house for children.<\/p>\n

The marketplace is also a fun way to connect with neighbors and share holiday traditions with the entire Point Loma community. Discussing what guests can expect to see, Barnes noted: \u201cWe\u2019ll have four different music groups essentially offering four different mini-concerts. There will be a taco cart, and we\u2019ll have tea with cookies and hot chocolate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be activities going on all around on the church grounds, as well as indoors in the main parish hall, where there will be beautifully done handicrafts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barnes talked about one of the marketplace\u2019s exquisite dessert delights, which are reportedly real crowd-pleasers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have our famous St. Nicholas hearty gingerbread cookies for sale,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ll also have Christmas carolers singing dressed in Victorian-era costumes. People can also expect to see several vendors from throughout the community selling a little bit of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission is free.<\/p>\n
