Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 14, 6-9 PM, as Market Under the Stars: A Night of Giving returns for another unforgettable evening of food, fellowship, music, and shopping with purpose. Eve’s Garden and Alfriend Hall will once again sparkle under the lights as friends old and new gather to enjoy delicious bites, live music, festive vendors, and the unmistakable joy of a St. John’s Market event.
Last year’s inaugural Market Under the Stars exceeded every expectation, raising a record-breaking $42,000. Thanks to the generosity of our parish and community, those proceeds are already making a difference—not only through St. John’s outreach ministries, but also by supporting local nonprofit organizations that serve our neighbors every day.
Because of that incredible success, we are excited to bring this special evening back for another year while we continue discerning the future of our historic St. John’s Market together as a parish.
In addition to Chef Fran’s delicious hors d’oeurves and festive music, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a silent auction, and Market favorites, such as:
- Handmade Gifts
- Holiday Centerpieces & Arrangements
- Sauces, Jams, & Jellies
- Homemade Chili & Cornbread To Go
- Sweet Treats, Cakes & Pies
Whether you came last year or will be experiencing Market Under the Stars: A Night of Giving for the first time, we hope you’ll join us for an evening that is as joyful as it is meaningful. Come celebrate, connect with friends, get a head start on your holiday shopping, and help continue a legacy of generosity that has been part of St. John’s for generations.
Early Bird Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 after November 9. Your $40 ticket reflects the real cost of the event and the outreach it supports. Feeling generous? Feel free to give more in the donation box provided! If $40 is a stretch for you, we invite you to contact a member of the clergy in confidence. We want every St. John’s parishioner to be part of this joyful evening. (All tickets will be $50 after November 9.)
