The Alternative Holiday Sale is a long-running community favorite that brings together local artists, small businesses, nonprofits, and fair-trade cooperatives. Held at Edgewood United Church in East Lansing, it draws hundreds of shoppers each year who are eager to support ethical, local vendors and discover unique, high-quality items—just in time for the holiday season.
This year is extra special as we celebrate PEC’s 50th anniversary! Meals and snacks will be available both days, and on Friday night, we’re partnering with Ten Pound Fiddle to host a live concert featuring Chicago folk musician Chris Walz.
Edgewood United Church
469 Hagadorn Rd, East Lansing
Friday, November 14, 5 pm - 9 pm
Saturday, November 15, 10 am - 4 pm
Fiddle fans may recognize Chris Walz when Weavermania led songs at a Mid-Winter Singing Festival, or when the Fiddle featured the Chicago-based bluegrass quartet Special Consensus. Since then, his recent solo album has topped the folk music charts. It is time for the Fiddle to feature the talent of Chris Walz.
