Our annual Holiday Bazaar is a beloved community event bringing together local artisans, small businesses, and families for a festive celebration in the heart of Nome. Held at the start of the holiday season, the bazaar offers unique, handcrafted gifts, seasonal décor, and homemade treats, providing a one-stop holiday shopping experience. In addition to shopping, attendees enjoy a warm, community atmosphere with festive decorations, delicious baked goods, and a raffle with locally sourced prizes.
All proceeds from the Holiday Bazaar support Nome Preschool, helping us maintain low tuition rates and fund quality early education programs. This event not only fosters community spirit but also provides a meaningful way for families and neighbors to connect and support our school.
