Step into a magical holiday market filled with twinkling lights, festive music, and the joyful bustle of downtown artists, restaurants, and retailers offering unqiue finds, styles, treats and more. Wander from booth to booth with libation in hand, enjoy live music that lifts your spirits, and let our cheerful gift-wrapping station take one more thing off your holiday to-do list.
This year, your presence truly matters. With the temporary closure of the Charles & Bay Street intersection during the busiest shopping season, our downtown merchants need the support of their community more than ever and Mistletoe Market is the most magical way to show it.
Hosted by the Freedman Arts District, this special pop-up holiday market invites visitors near and far to sip, shop, and celebrate the small businesses that make downtown Beaufort glow all year long.
Come be part of the Mistletoe Market magic! Your support keeps our beloved downtown thriving.

The Pat Conroy Literary Center’s monthly Open Mic Night will be held at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.) on Thursday, December 11, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Our featured poet will be Emily Rosko, author of Weather Inventions. Open Mic will also include short readings of 3 to 5 minutes each by other writers in many genres.
Interested in reading as part of Open Mic? Let us know at contact@patconroyliterarycenter.org.
About Our Featured AuthorEmily Rosko’s books include: Weather Inventions; Prop Rockery, winner of the 2011 Akron Poetry Prize; and Raw Goods Inventory, winner of the 2005 Iowa Poetry Prize. She is the editor of A Broken Thing: Poets on the Line and is poetry editor for swamp pink. She is a past recipient of the Stegner and Ruth Lilly fellowships. New poems have appeared recently in Bennington Review, Epoch, Laurel Review, New American Writing, Seneca Review, South Carolina Review, and Third Coast. She is professor of English at the College of Charleston.
“In Emily Rosko’s third poetry collection, Weather Inventions, she demonstrates how “beauty is thought into being.” These poems are exquisitely crafted, honing the act of attention to a keen edge. Science, the pastoral tradition, meteorology, and the personal all interact and ultimately ask us to contend with the uncertainty of the world around us, its “unsolved riddle.” Weather Inventions promises that “right at the edge of space’s midnight, we lose ourselves past seeing.” Rosko’s piercing gaze, her faith in this struggling life, is what moors us. This a book I plan to read and re-read, as the poems yield more with each new encounter.”—Rebecca Dunham, author of Cold Pastoral
