Paramus Catholic High School is turning its gym, second cafeteria and four hallways into a holiday marketplace on Nov. 15, with more than 125 vendors set up to sell handcrafted goods and holiday gifts. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the school's 425 Paramus Road campus, and admission is $2 per person, with children younger than 12 getting in free.
The fair is organized by Marshmallow Events, according to a listing on allevents.in, which describes the event as a chance to shop from more than 125 local vendors spanning the gym, second cafeteria and four hallways. As reported by Daily Voice, the fair is open to the public and offers Bergen County residents a chance to browse local sellers' products while supporting the Paramus Catholic community.
Where the Money Goes
All admission proceeds will go directly to Paramus Catholic High School, per a Facebook announcement cited in the Daily Voice report. The allevents.in listing similarly notes that the $2 entry fee will fully support the school.
The Paramus Catholic High School Parents Council will offer refreshments in the cafeteria during the fair, Daily Voice reports. The allevents.in listing echoes that detail, inviting visitors to stop by and enjoy a treat in the Parents Council-supported cafeteria.
What Shoppers Can Expect
Vendors will be spread across the gym, second cafeteria and four hallways, offering handcrafted goods and holiday gifts just in time for the season. A 2018 Mybergen.com article about a Nov. 10, 2019, Paramus Catholic Fall Craft Show advertised handcrafted jewelry, photography, crafts, florals and apparel; its hours and admission price cannot be confirmed as matching this year's event.
Vendor counts at past Paramus Catholic craft events have varied. A 2018 article from mybergen.com advertised a Fall Craft Show with 140 exhibitors for Nov. 10, 2019, though that single mention doesn't establish any clear trend from year to year.
Planning a Visit
Shoppers heading to the Nov. 15 fair should plan to arrive between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with admission costing $2 and children under 12 admitted free. The event is open to the public, giving Bergen County shoppers an early jump on holiday gift shopping while supporting a local school.
