The artworks will be lit up nightly from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The Makers Market will offer a range of locally-made gifts by 37 artists and artisans from Clallam County. Visitors will find art prints, home decor, jewelry, body care, kitchenware, cards, stickers and clothing.

It will offer “an alternative atmosphere to the frenzy of Black Friday shopping,” according to a press release.

Warm or alcoholic beverages and heated seating will be provided in the courtyard from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight with live music from alt-folk singer-songwriter Elena Loper from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Craft nut roasters D’s Nuts will sell snacks in the courtyard from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
