2024 Holiday Craft and Vendor Event in Cloquet

CLOQUET, Minn. — Community members are all set up for the 2024 Holiday Craft and Vendor Event in Cloquet this weekend.

The event starts Friday at 9 a.m. at the Cloquet Armory and Pinetree Plaza. Attendees will find handmade items, crafts, holiday gifts from local artisans, and food trucks. There will be free shuttle service between each location. The same vendors come year after year, some from the Iron Range and Minneapolis.

“If you shop local and you shop small businesses everybody wins. You get a customized gift that’s just for what you’re looking for and it helps the person who is either learning to be an entrepreneur or has experience and just allowing them to sell their wares and enjoy,” said Noelle Parker, Event Coordinator.

A Shoe Drive will also be taking place at this event, people can bring their slightly used shoes in to be collected. Money will go towards scholarships for the Catch and Release Tumble and Cheer Club in Moose Lake.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
