Old Town Christmas Market rescheduled due to weather

NEW DATE: Saturday, December 14

UPDATE – ROCKWALL (December 8, 2013) After many hours of contemplating the best course of action, the following decision has been made regarding Rockwall’s Old Town Christmas Market.  Event organizers have determined the weather is not conducive this weekend for either an outdoor or indoor show.  Even if vendors were willing to downsize and move indoors, icy conditions will not warrant shoppers venturing out for holiday shopping.  Event organizers considered several dates for rescheduling and have determined Saturday, December 14th as the most viable date for rescheduling the show.
