One of the largest holiday markets in Atlanta will take over the new City Springs Civic & Cultural Center from November 9 through 10.
The Elegant Elf Marketplace is presented by The Sandy Springs Society, the largest philanthropic group in Sandy Springs.
The 8th annual “shopping for a cause” fundraiser features an upscale gift market with 100 local and regional artisans, gourmet food purveyors, and unique gift vendors of jewelry, handcrafted fashions, fine crafts, items for home and garden, handbags and toys.
“The Sandy Springs Society works year-round to select upscale gift vendors, and we’re thrilled to present another amazing two-day lineup of shopping for a cause at our new City Springs venue,” said Peyton White, event co-chair, Elegant Elf Marketplace. “It’s a win-win-win for the entire community - vendors, shoppers and non-profit organizations we support in Sandy Springs.”
All proceeds from The Elegant Elf Marketplace are reinvested in the local Sandy Springs community.
In the past seven years, The Elegant Elf Marketplace has helped provide grants so that local non-profit organizations can improve the arts, heritage, education, environment and social services in Sandy Springs.
