On Friday, Dec. 5, Kerrytown hosted their annual KindleFest event. Snowy downtown was lit up with a series of vendors and community members celebrating the beginning of the holiday season through selling various trinkets, foods and art. This was part of the larger Midnight Madness events hosted in Downtown Ann Arbor that evening.
Aside from the market itself, there was also food for sale, free hot chocolate from the Ann Arbor Police Department and a tent set up with balloon animals and a meet and greet with Santa.
Miriam Texeira, who sells wood decorations, had a stall at the market.
“The highlight of the evening has been just having fun,” she said. “Everybody is very kind.”
Bon Bon Bon Chocolate employee Rose Nash was helping run the store’s station towards the front. This is her third year representing the company at the KindleFest.
“They put us in the same spot [this year], so we’re by the same people, but we also get to make new friends,” Nash said. “We get to be the chocolate fairy, I call it. I can take chocolates to people and say hi.”
