Glebe businesses and local shoppers welcomed the return of the Lansdowne Christmas Market Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas Market first took place in 2019 but was cancelled last year due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store owners near Lansdowne looked forward to the extra traffic the market could bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked whether there was tension between local Glebe businesses and the market, Jennifer Adam, the founder of J.D. Adam Kitchen Co. on the corner of Bank Street and Third Avenue, said there was none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAnything that brings people down to the neighbourhood is fantastic,\u201d Adam, 59, said. \u201cWe like to have extra customers running up and down by the extra stores in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam said her business is established and has been in the Glebe for more than 30 years, but the presence of the Lansdowne Christmas Market \u201cmight be harder for newer businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam also said the merchandise her store sells is different from the products at the Christmas Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it just adds to the great variety of products that we have around here,\u201d she said, \u201cbut if someone was selling something that was the same as what we\u2019re doing, then I would obviously have some reservations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bassam Saeed, 38, is the co-owner of local sock supplier Uptown Sox and was a vendor at the market in its first year in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs vendors, we had a blast here,\u201d Saeed said. \u201cAt nighttime, they do a lot of events here, and a lot of families come out. So, you have that Christmas feeling right through the holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendors are expected to open their doors for shoppers in the Casino Lac-Leamy Plaza starting at 5 p.m. Friday. Saeed said he was not worried about competing with Black Friday sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt started on Black Friday in 2019 as well, and a lot of people still showed up,\u201d Saeed said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that because the Christmas Market begins later in the day, people will spend their evenings at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good evening getaway, and instead of going out on a Friday night, people come here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoppers at the market Friday also expressed excitement for its return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI\u2019ll be going to the Lansdowne Christmas Market with my husband and children tonight, and we\u2019re really looking forward to it,\u201d said Gemma Needham, a Christmas shopper in the Lansdowne area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard that they light up a giant Christmas tree on the opening night \u2026 so that\u2019ll be tons of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
