The Intentional Celebration: Holiday Edition

A two-day holiday market with local vendors, workshops, creative activities, and festive experiences at Providence’s WaterFire Arts Center. The Intentional Celebration: Holiday Edition is a two-day indoor holiday market and experience taking place December 5–6, 2026, at the WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Free admission from 12–5 PM both days, with a VIP Hour at 11 AM. Beyond holiday shopping, guests can step inside festive installations, watch free live demos throughout the day (calligraphy, a holiday cocktail and mocktail bar, and kids' crafts), and book a seat at one of four hands-on workshops: wreath making, grazing boards, holiday centerpieces, and cookie decorating. Instead of simply admiring a beautiful wreath or table, attendees can meet the makers behind them and learn how to recreate the ideas at home. DIY WORKSHOPS Workshops are ticketed, 90-minute sessions with limited seats, offered twice a day on both days. Pricing is coming soon. The Welcome Wreath Make the first thing guests see this season something you made yourself. This hands-on workshop walks you through building a fresh evergreen wreath from start to finish: layering greenery, adding ribbon and seasonal details, and finishing it so you can hang it on your own front door. No experience needed. You'll take your wreath home at the end. The Grazing Board Learn the secrets behind a board that draws everyone in. This hands-on workshop shows you how to choose, arrange, and style cheeses, meats, and seasonal extras into a holiday grazing board that looks as good as it tastes. You'll leave with your board and the confidence to make one for every gathering this season. The Holiday Centerpiece Give your holiday table a heart. This hands-on workshop guides you through arranging a seasonal centerpiece with flowers, greenery, and candlelight: choosing a palette, building shape and height, and adding finishing touches that feel like you. You'll take your centerpiece home, ready for your own table. Sweet on the Season Bring a little sweetness to the season. This hands-on workshop teaches you how to decorate holiday cookies with royal icing, from smooth flooding to simple piped details that look bakery-perfect. Relax, have fun, and take home a box of your creations to share (or not). The weekend also brings a curated marketplace of local makers and small businesses, food trucks, holiday music, and a visit from Santa, making it a full day out for families, hosts, DIYers, and anyone planning their own seasonal gatherings. Want to be part of it? We're welcoming a limited number of local makers, small businesses and brands who help people gather and celebrate. Vendor applications are open until October 15. Sponsorship and partnership opportunities are also available. Reach out at [email protected] to learn more. Shop, create, learn and celebrate the season, all in one place.
