This year, Squeaky’s Annual Dys(fun)ctional Holiday Party might be a tad bit reminiscent of a dysfunctional family function. So please arrive decked out in that nice sweater kindly knit for you by Grandma Itchyarn (unless you want her to spend all night asking why you didn’t like it) and cozy up with us as we celebrate all the different holidays and the twisted ties that seem to bind next-of-kin together tighter than ever during this particular season.

Join us this holiday season for the Broadway Market’s annual Kriskindlemart, a unique alternative to mall shopping that offers holiday foods and crafts, beginning Saturday November 19 through November 26 including the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday, when Santa arrives at 12:00 noon. (Closed Sunday and Thanksgiving Day) Also, take a ride on our horse drawn carriage! Rides will be available on Black Friday from noon until 2:00 p.m.

RendezVous is an art and music festival centered on common themes appealing to the varied and diverse interests of the Western New York community.
