We hope Brooklynites come out and support Brooklyn’s small businesses!” “So many great brands make up this market! A little bit of something for everyone. Come out, shop with us!” commenter Jessica added. “Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way.” Winterfest debuted at a 40,000-square-foot outdoor space behind the Brooklyn Museum on November 23 and is scheduled to run though December 31\. The event’s press release and [website](https://winterfestbrooklynmuseum.com/?ref=bklyner.com) initially claimed that the lot would be transformed into a winter wonderland featuring shopping, entertainment, and paid family attractions—including Santa Land, a Snowzilla slide, a Spectacular Menorah, a giant snow globe, and a tree maze—[most of which were lackluster or never even appeared](/improvements-promised-at-winterfest-following-feedback-from-unhappy-families/), causing many [disappointed families to seek refunds](/some-unhappy-winterfest-customers-receive-refunds-while-others-left-out-in-cold/). The Brooklyn Museum demanded that Winterfest organizers stop charging admission at the end of November. Vendors, who have paid thousands of dollars to participate in the event’s marketplace, have cited [sluggish foot traffic, reduced hours, electrical problems, and a lack of advertising](/winterfest-vendors-feel-scammed-brooklyn-da-reviewing-complaint-against-organizers/) as some of the reasons behind their slow sales during this typically busy shopping season. If you still have some holiday shopping left to do, consider stopping by the outdoor market. See the list of Winterfest vendors below (including a few who have chosen to leave the event). There’s jewelry, accessories, clothing, bath products, herbs, teas, toys, culinary treats, and more to help you finish up your gift list.
