There was jewelry, plants, home décor, and specialty gifts. And it was a chance for people to support local businesses impacted by last year’s hurricanes.

“They have all their gifts right here and everything like that, that they'll take home with them and they'll keep with them for a very long time,” said Jonathan Choiniere, a festival patron.

The event was free, put on by SIK Promotions.
