Church Street Marketplace

Lights & Decor
The Marketplace will be glowing with festive light pole banners and twinkling tree lights, setting the perfect mood for cozy strolls and magical evenings.

NEW! Heart to Heart

We're putting our interactive sculpture celebrating the power of human connection back out on the Church Street Marketplace. Stay tuned for the location.

Here's how it works: When two individuals touch its electrodes and form a human chain, their shared energy completes a circuit, illuminating a glowing red heart. The sculpture symbolizes the transformative energy of connection and its ability to ignite and sustain love.
