Some Things to Know About Christmas Market 2020
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)
