Time to celebrate the holiday season with the Merry Market and Minsky’s Pizza!
Each Saturday and Sunday between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the City Market will be transformed into the Merry Market, a jolly, fun open-air festival. More than 75 different artisans will be in attendance — selling beautiful gifts, street food, and drinks each weekend — curated by Art Garden KC!
Of course, Minsky’s Pizza will be there each day, helping patrons celebrate by providing adult beverage stations throughout the Market, along with Pizza by the Slice! Enjoy some delicious street food or a Boulevard craft beer while you explore the many different booths in this European-style market.
