Discover Unique Treasures at the Black Market: Holiday Edition

Written by Christina Julia Dingzon

Celebrate creativity and community at The Black Market: Holiday Edition, a vibrant seasonal marketplace in Downtown Pittsburgh. Hosted and presented by BNY and Shayla Hawkins Events, a prominent advocate for Black entrepreneurship, this unique event celebrates innovation and artistry of local black-owned businesses.

This event is scheduled to run from December 5th-8th and December 12th-15th. The Black Market offers aratisans and creators to showcase their talents. Visitors can shop an exceptional selection of handmade items, from custom jewelry and home goods to art pieces and fashion. It’s a perfect opportunity to find unique gifts while supporting local Black entrepreneurs.

Hawkins’s vision for the event goes beyond shopping. It is a celebration of culture, a chance for the community to connect, and a way to elevate underrepresented voices in Pittsburgh’s creative community. Her leadership ensures the event is not just a market, but an inspiring experience.

The Black Market is a part of Downtown Pittsburgh’s broader holiday programming of events and complements well with the other festivities happening in the heart of the city like Light Up Night and the Peoples Gas Holiday Market.
