Mistletoe Market is a part of the 95th Annual Christmas “Festival of Lights” here in Natchitoches on Saturday, December 4th, 2021.

The Women’s Resource Center hosts a craft area at this event each year as a fundraiser to assist our ministry in helping young women in difficult life situations, including unplanned pregnancies. This is a very important event for us.
