Christmas Market Safety Protocols

 We are excited to bring a new holiday tradition to the Lake Norman community.  Our first annual Christmas Market will be held on Saturday, November 28th from 11am – 5pm.  To ensure a safe and festive Market for all involved, the following protocols will be in place:

  • Enforcement of the new mask mandate in effect Nov. 27-Dec. 11, requiring employees, vendors and guests to wear a face covering at all times, except while actively eating or drinking.

  • Hand sanitizer readily available throughout the market, at the entrance and each of the vendor tents.

  • ·One way traffic through the market, with arrows indicating traffic flow.

  • A dedicated staff member will provide oversight in the Market area to prevent crowding and ensure all protocols are being followed by vendors and guests.

  • Tables in the taproom and biergarten will be sanitized on a regular basis, as we have done from the beginning of the pandemic.

  • QR codes are used to access Lost Worlds’ beer menu for a paperless option.

Social distancing reminders are placed throughout the brewery, along with signs emphasizing the # W’s – Wear a Mask, Wait 6 ft. apart, Wash your hands. We thank you all for your compliance.

November 28th is not only Small Business Saturday, it’s a day to get out with your family and kick off the season at Lost Worlds. We partnered with our neighbor, Christine Rinkert of Luna’s at the Lake, to bring you a blissful holiday shopping experience.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • To allow for plenty of space and social distancing, our Christmas Market will set up behind the brewery with vendors in every second “parking space.”

  • We’ll open a hour early, starting at 11am. The Christmas Market will close at 5pm, then join us under the lights in our Biergarten until 10pm (normal close of business).

  • More than 30 Makers will come together to sell their creations — everything from handcrafted jewelry and local art to home made gifts and holiday fare (yum!).

  • Tin Kitchen food truck will be with us all day, along with a variety of food options in our immediate neighborhood.

  • We’ll have lots of Fall beers on tap, with a booth set up outside so you can shop and sip.

  • We’re offering our Holiday Gift Box again this year for the beer lover on your list, along with gift cards and wooden nickels stocking stuffers — good for a pint!

If you’re a vendor participating in our market — thank you for joining us! Here’s some helpful information:

  • Ensure that you pay your vendor fees by 11/15. Stop into the taproom or call 980-689-2467 to pay by phone.

  • Please allow yourself time to set up and be ready for our guests at 11am and check in with Christine.

  • There will be power available, but please bring your own extension cords.

  • Decorate! We encourage you to create a festive holiday aesthetic under your tent.

  • Please tell your friends, family and followers! Use the Christmas Market graphic (above) we created or share our posts leading up to the event.

  • Please wait until 5pm to pack up so that everyone can enjoy shopping right until the end, then join us for your complimentary brew (you’ll get a wooden nickel)
