G&G Winter Market

In celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of G&G’s Made in the South Awards, the magazine opened the Cigar Factory headquarters doors for the G&G Winter Market—a lively makers market featuring winners and runners-up in the food, drink, style, home, crafts, and outdoors categories. On Thursday night, friends of G&G kicked off the weekend with an opening night celebration in honor of the 2024 award-winners and runners-up. The festivities continued with an open-to-the-public, three-day market, inviting guests from all over the South to shop the artisan products, enjoy festive food and drink, and attend engaging Meet the Maker demonstrations and conversations—all celebrating the spirit of Southern craftsmanship.
