B. Willow This time of year, you’ll find plenty of seasonal markets all around the city. Just a bit south of Remington, the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Bolton Hill hosts an annual arts fair, a four-day holiday market in which 300 of MICA’s students, alumni, staff and faculty sell their artwork and crafts to the public. Fifteen percent of sales go toward student scholarships. And at the Inner Harbor, the annual Christmas Village, modeled after traditional German Christmas markets, sets up shop just prior to Thanksgiving. More than 50 vendors peddle German and European crafts (think wooden dolls and handmade ornaments) in a holiday atmosphere that includes thousands of lights, a huge tree, and special treats like German roasted nuts and glühwein.
