Coastal Discovery Museum to host holiday store sale and farmers market

The Coastal Discovery Museum will celebrate the start of the holiday season with a special holiday Museum Store sale and Farmers Market on Tuesday, Nov. 25th, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its Honey Horn campus.

The event will feature discounts, local vendors, and festive shopping opportunities that highlight the art, culture, and flavors of the Lowcountry. Museum members will also have early access to the sale during a Shop & Sip preview on Monday, Nov. 24th, from 4 to 6 p.m.

“The holiday museum store sale and farmers market is an opportunity for people to shop locally, meet artists and vendors, and support the museum as we celebrate our 40th year,” said Jennifer Stupica, director of finance and administration at the Coastal Discovery Museum.

The museum store will offer a 10% discount on non-consignment items and a 20% discount for members. Shoppers can find regional gifts including artwork, jewelry, books, ornaments, games, and Gullah sweetgrass baskets, along with local food products from Marsh Hen Mill, Lowcountry Produce, Charleston Tea Garden, and “We Island” Gumbo.

For those looking to give back, the museum will offer its sea turtle nest adoption program as a unique holiday gift that supports local conservation. Each adoption includes a certificate and additional items depending on the chosen level of support.

The Hilton Head Farmers Market, held weekly at Honey Horn, will feature a special holiday edition during the sale, with vendors offering seasonal produce, seafood, baked goods, locally roasted coffee, pet treats, art, and handmade crafts.

The Coastal Discovery Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate, is located at 70 Honey Horn Drive. It is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The museum will be closed Thanksgiving Day, Dec. 24th, 25th, and 31st, and Jan. 1st, 2026.

Founded in 1985, the museum’s mission is to provide educational and cultural experiences that inspire appreciation and stewardship of the Lowcountry. Admission is free, with donations supporting its programs and conservation initiatives. More information is available at www.coastaldiscovery.org.
