Winter Market

Clayton Valley Farms and Stardust Sanctuary are proudly coming together to bring our city a fabulous Winter Market—a joyful blend of holiday shopping, community activities, festive experiences, and opportunities to support rescued animals and youth programs. We’re excited to share the magic of the season with you.”

Why the Christmas Market Matters

 

At Stardust Sanctuary, we rescue animals, teach children, and build community. The Winter Market at Clayton Valley Farms brings families together to celebrate the season while supporting year‑round animal care and hands‑on youth programs. Your visit, booth, or sponsorship fuels a place where compassion, learning, and a little stardust shine bright.
