Long Branch, NJ – Asbury Park Bazaar is thrilled to announce the Kringle Cove Holiday Bazaar, a festive winter pop-up at Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch. This immersive holiday experience takes over Black Friday, November 28, Small Business Saturday, November 29, and Sunday, November 30, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM each day.

Drawing inspiration from traditional European “Weihnachtsmall” markets, the bazaar brings together a thoughtfully curated selection of local and regional makers offering handcrafted goods, artisan gifts, and seasonal treasures. Expect to find ceramics, jewelry, candles, home décor, wellness items, and other one-of-a-kind creations — perfect for holiday shopping.

But the holiday magic doesn’t stop at shopping. The Kringle Cove pop-up is set to enchant with a full slate of festive programming:

  • Twinkling winter décor and photo-ready holiday scenes throughout Whitechapel Projects

  • Seasonal cocktails, craft holiday beverages, and winter wines to sip and savor

  • Cozy s’mores stations for families and friends to gather

  • Interactive workshops, including a wreath-making class with Made in Flowers, a custom perfume workshop with The Scent Social, and a boozy coasters “Sip & Paint” hour via Boozy Brushes

  • Kid-friendly activities, such as a charm bar, a children’s book station, and a 3D toy/fidget booth

  • Live holiday music & DJ sets to amplify the festive ambiance

  • Santa visits — on Saturday (Nov 29) from 6–8 PM, guests can snag “North Pole Paw-traits” with their pets.

  • Very Merry Brunchmas on Sunday (Nov 30), featuring special holiday characters (note: this has sold out in past announcements).

“Kringle Cove at Whitechapel Projects is more than a holiday market — it's a winter wonderland immersive pop-up,” said Jenny Vickers, event organizer and founder of Asbury Park Bazaar. “We wanted to give our community a warm, whimsical home base to kick off the holiday season, complete with lights, laughter, and small-business shopping.”

Admission to the bazaar is free and open to the public, making it a perfect destination for families, friends, and holiday-goers of all ages. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to catch all the activities, photo moments, and workshops.

Whitechapel Projects’ venue is ideal for the season — its indoor chapel space and large Sperry sailcloth tents offer a sheltered, cozy environment regardless of the weather. Vendor spaces are still available at $185 per 6×4 ft space, with covered, weather-protected tent areas provided.

Asbury Park Bazaar invites everyone to bring loved ones, sip merry cocktails, roast s’mores, shop small, and soak up the magic of Kringle Cove in Long Branch.
