~ The City of New Rochelle opened its annual Holiday Market at the city's train station on Black Friday, November 24th. The market features more than 60 local vendors, with the majority of them being minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBEs). This year's Holiday Market includes local vendors such as Custom Crafts, J. Mckinley, Doris Creations, and Manor Sangria as well as exciting food options from a new food truck village. The beloved 35 x 35-foot ice-skating rink is also in place once again.

The market is part of New Rochelle's efforts to ensure that as its local economy grows, MWBEs have the opportunity to grow with it. To that end, city officials developed an outreach strategy that raised awareness of the opportunity to be a part of the market specifically among MWBEs. Additionally, New Rochelle reached out to graduates of city programs that help MWBEs build their capacity so they can take their businesses to the next level as well as MWBE vendors from previous markets. The selection committee for Holiday Market vendors also implemented a process that gave priority to local MWBE vendors.
