If you’re searching for the holiday event of the season in Yakima — look no further than Peach Tree Retirement Center’s annual Holiday Bazaar & Food Drive. It’s more than just a vendor fair… it’s a heartfelt celebration of community, faith, creativity, and connection — all wrapped in twinkling lights and served with cocoa.
Here’s why we think it’s the best in town:
1. It’s Held at the Best Retirement Community in Yakima
Peach Tree Retirement isn’t just a place to live — it’s a place to belong. Visitors say the warmth is felt from the moment you walk in the door. Hosting our bazaar in this inviting space gives it that “home for the holidays” feeling you can’t fake.
2. You’ll Find the Most Thoughtful, Handmade Christian Gifts in Yakima
From faith-inspired woodwork and scripture journals to children’s StoryTee™ shirts and nativity ornaments, our vendors offer beautiful, meaningful gifts that honor the true spirit of Christmas.
3. Our Seniors Are the Stars
Residents help decorate, greet guests, share stories, and sometimes even sell their own handmade creations! It’s a senior living community event that shows aging with joy and purpose is not just possible — it’s the Peach Tree way.
4. The Peach Tree Elf Makes Mischief
Our beloved spectacle scavenger hunt returns with a new theme: “You Helped Us Find Our Teeth… Now Help Us Find Our Glasses!” Each hidden pair of glasses leads to prizes and laughter for all ages.
5. No Crowds, Just Community
Forget the shoulder-to-shoulder chaos of mall shopping. Our vendor market is easy to navigate, stroller-friendly, and full of vendors ready to share the story behind their crafts.
6. Live Music & Carolers Add Holiday Cheer
Enjoy a joyful soundtrack as you shop, sip cider, and savor the moment.
7. There’s Always Something Delicious
Local bakers, cookie trays, and hot cocoa stations make the whole place smell like Christmas. You may come for gifts… but you’ll stay for seconds.
8. You Can Give Back with Every Step
Our food drive helps fill pantries across Yakima. Bring canned goods and be entered in a prize giveaway — including a chance to win a new TV!
9. Photos with Santa at Meadowbrook
Cross off that annual photo and enjoy a magical moment the kids will remember — all while supporting a faith-based, family-run mission.
10. It’s a Celebration of Faith, Family & Fun
This event brings together generations, small businesses, and the spirit of giving — all in one joyful gathering.
