Valentine’s Market a HUGE Success
The weather was gorgeous, the vendors were set up, and when the market closed at 2 p.m., items were sold out and an estimated 2,000 people had shopped the Valentine’s Market!  While we can’t guarantee the same weather for the next market on February 26, we can state with certainty that we will have a variety of great items for you to pick up.  The Yorktown Trolley is running its route during the Winter Markets, beginning at 10 a.m.  Several stops are located at parking areas throughout town, with the Trolley dropping you off at Riverwalk Landing – just a few steps from the Market location. We hope to see you February 26!  Complete details are available on the Visit Yorktown website.
