Loved it gorgeous market

What a lovely place to stroll and explore! I've been visiting annually for six years now, and it always feels magical. The only suggestion I have is that perhaps the decorations and events could be changed every few years to keep things fresh. More food and craft vendors would also be a welcome addition. I appreciate that it's dog-friendly, too! I recommend the Ferris wheel and carousel. For food, I suggest trying Tito Ben's Food Truck, a Filipino food truck located next to the Ferris wheel. The chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows is also delightful. 😋
