A Little Holiday Magic, a Lot of Pueblo Creativity
There’s something special about finding a gift that comes with a story — especially when the person who made it is standing right in front of you.
That spirit returns to Watertower Place on Nov. 20 and 21 as Pueblo PopUp Holiday Edition brings together a record-breaking lineup of more than 20 vendors for two days of festive shopping, holiday treats and community connection.
Come ready to browse, meet local makers and discover the creativity that makes Pueblo such a wonderful place to celebrate the season.
Find Something With a Little Personality
Holiday shopping should feel like an adventure. Maybe you’ll spot the perfect handmade creation for someone who is impossible to shop for. Maybe a delicious treat will convince you to take a shopping break. And maybe you’ll find something you hadn’t planned on bringing home — including a little something for yourself.
With local vendors showcasing original arts, crafts, holiday creations and food, Pueblo PopUp offers plenty of reasons to take your time and enjoy the experience.
Every purchase is also a chance to connect with the people behind the work. Ask about their inspiration, learn how something was made and discover a new favorite local business. Those conversations are part of what makes shopping small feel so personal.
Bring a friend, bring your gift list and leave room for a few happy surprises.
Go Behind the Scenes at Watertower Place
On Saturday, Nov. 21, the holiday market comes with an opportunity to explore the history surrounding it.
Gregory Howell will lead private guided tours of Watertower Place, the former Nuckolls Packing Co. meatpacking plant, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Today, visitors come through the doors to experience creativity and community. The tours offer a chance to look more closely at the building’s earlier life and consider the people, production and purpose that once filled these spaces.
If you’ve ever visited Watertower Place and wondered what happened beyond the room you were standing in, this is your invitation to explore further.
Tour tickets are free and will be available through Eventbrite. Plan your shopping around a tour, or make the tour the centerpiece of your Saturday visit.
Make a Little Time for Local
The holiday season has a way of filling our calendars before we’ve had a chance to enjoy it. Pueblo PopUp is an invitation to slow down, gather with neighbors and make a few discoveries along the way.
It’s also a chance to experience a historic Pueblo landmark as a place where new stories continue to unfold — one conversation, one creation and one community gathering at a time.
Join us at Watertower Place, 303 S. Santa Fe Ave. in the Grove, from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21.
More than 20 vendors. Two festive days. A building full of history and a community full of creativity.
We can’t wait to welcome you back.
