Belleville Market

Inspired by the markets of Europe

Inspired by the Paris neighborhood of the same name, Derrick and Warren Clark, founders of the award-winning Domaci home décor brand, have created a one-of-a-kind shopping experience modeled after a European style market with their latest endeavor, Belleville Market. But good news! There is no passport needed to visit this wonderland for the eclectically-minded, environmentally-motivated shopper.

Conveniently located in the heart of bustling, beautiful Downtown Easton, Belleville Market houses 60-plus merchants, which include a juried collection of independently-owned, creativebased makers, curators and collectors. While including established brands such as Domaci, Seasons Olive Oil & Vinegar and Cottage & Bloom, Belleville Market also plays host to many beloved local artisans, as well as a number of up-and-coming retailers just getting their start!

From the updated Main Gallery, to the completely-renovated Parc, and even an upstairs Loft space, Belleville's merchants create shopping spaces that are as unique as the goods they offer.

Prepare to be inspired. This truly is a one-stop shop for home décor, gifts, gourmet food, unique finds and so much more. Select weekends will even find the sounds of live music drifting from the market's terrace as shoppers browse, all courtesy of some of the Valley’s favorite local musicians.

Need help finding the perfect gift, but short on time and/or ideas? Allow Belleville's Le Concierge service to work their magic and put together something that’s sure to impress!

Belleville Market's upstairs Loft is also home to The Atelier, a space dedicated for workshops, DIY classes, private events and more. Visit Belleville Market's website for a calendar of events or to inquire about renting the space.

Derrick and Warren always dreamed of creating a store that was more than just a place to shop, but was also an experience where friends and neighbors could gather. Belleville Market is the realization of that dream. Experience it in Downtown Easton!

Peddler's Village

A spectacular year-round destination

Starting each year in mid-November, Peddler’s Village— a shopping, dining, lodging and entertainment destination in Bucks County—is transformed into a stunning holiday wonderland. This annual tradition involves a million colorful lights, the arrival of Santa, a series of holiday events, live entertainment and everyday Christmas cheer.

The 42-acre property encompasses 60-plus specialty shops and boutiques (almost all of which are locally owned small businesses, with more than half owned or co-owned by women); seven restaurants and eateries; a 66-room inn; an indoor family fun center that includes a restored antique carousel, arcade and six-level mountain maze; an iconic water wheel; and winding red-brick paths. The site has plenty of free parking, but the main Village area is limited to pedestrians, many of whom stroll with beverages in hand purchased from the wine, beer and spirits tasting rooms or from the weekend outdoor hot-cider stand.

As a top attraction in Pennsylvania, Peddler’s Village is a special destination year-round, but it shines especially during the holiday season!
