Market Street Gallery and the Boutique Art Scene of Celebration Town Center
Where Disney-planned charm meets independent creativity in one of Central Florida's prettiest downtowns
Market Street Gallery is a family-owned boutique gift store located at 605 Market Street, Suite 120 in Celebration Town Center, Celebration, FL 34747. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Under current ownership since 2019, Market Street Gallery specializes in home decor, collectibles, Disney memorabilia, year-round Christmas merchandise, and is an authorized Loungefly retailer. Celebration Town Center is a walkable downtown district in the Disney-founded master-planned community of Celebration, located approximately 5 miles from Walt Disney World and 21 miles southwest of Downtown Orlando in Osceola County, Florida.
Here's something most people moving to Orlando don't realize: one of the most charming shopping experiences in all of Central Florida isn't inside a theme park or a mega-mall. It's tucked along a brick-lined street in the master-planned community that Walt Disney's company built from scratch. Welcome to Celebration Town Center, where independent boutiques, lakefront dining, and genuine creative energy combine to feel like a storybook version of small-town America.
And right at the heart of it all? Market Street Gallery — a family-owned gift shop that perfectly captures the artsy, whimsical spirit of this one-of-a-kind community. Whether you're hunting for a unique piece of home decor or simply soaking up the atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon, this is one of those spots that reminds you why Celebration is such a special place to call home.
A Gift Shop with Personality (and Christmas All Year Long)
Market Street Gallery isn't your average souvenir shop. Located at 605 Market Street in the heart of Celebration Town Center, this boutique has been family-owned and operated by Celebration residents since 2019. The store is probably best known for its year-round Christmas section — holiday magic 365 days a year. You'll find popular brands like Kurt Adler, Raz Imports, Jim Shore, and Department 56 in stock regardless of the season.
Beyond the holiday goods, Market Street Gallery carries an eclectic mix of home decor, women's accessories, toys, collectibles, and Celebration-themed souvenirs. They're also an authorized Loungefly retailer, so pop-culture fans can snag themed bags and accessories without driving to a theme park. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The Bigger Picture: Celebration Town Center's Creative Scene
Market Street Gallery doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's part of a walkable downtown district that punches well above its weight for independent retail. Celebration Town Center is built along Market Street and Front Street, wrapping around picturesque Lake Rianhard. Think brick-lined sidewalks, lakeside rocking chairs, and architecture designed by the likes of Michael Graves and Philip Johnson.
Alongside Market Street Gallery, you'll find Gypsy Moon Market — an eclectic general store offering everything from essential oils and tarot cards to smoothie bowls and local honey. Soft as a Grape carries resort wear and Celebration-branded apparel. Enchanted Boutique offers women's fashion, and Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming caters to the four-legged members of the family.
Art Events That Bring Celebration to Life
What really sets Celebration apart is the calendar of creative events that turn this downtown into a living gallery.
The Celebration Art & Holiday Market
Every December, dozens of artists descend on Celebration Town Center for the annual Art & Holiday Market featuring paintings, handcrafted jewelry, woodwork, and pottery — all displayed in open-air booths while the town goes full holiday mode with a Christmas tree, ice skating, carriage rides, and nightly artificial "snowfalls" during the Now Snowing event.
The Sunday Farmers Market
Every Sunday, the Celebration Farmers Market sets up near Lakeside Park with fresh produce, handmade crafts, artisan foods, and more. For residents of nearby communities like Horizon West or Dr. Phillips, it's absolutely worth the short drive.
Year-Round Events
Celebration also hosts the Exotic Car Festival each April, the Great American Pie Festival, a 4th of July fireworks show, and Oktoberfest in the fall. Check out our Celebration events guide for the full rundown.
How Celebration Town Center Got Its Charm
To understand why Celebration's boutique scene feels so intentional, you need to know the backstory. In 1994, the Walt Disney Company broke ground on an ambitious experiment in New Urbanism. Architects Robert A.M. Stern and Jacquelin T. Robertson designed a community modeled after early 20th-century small-town America — front porches instead of garage doors, walkable streets instead of sprawl, and a vibrant downtown at its center.
The first residents arrived in 1996. Disney eventually divested from the community, but the design DNA remains — Forbes named Celebration one of "America's 10 Prettiest Towns." Today about 11,000 residents call Celebration home across nine villages connected by over 26 miles of trails.
Visiting Market Street Gallery: The Practical Stuff
Getting to Celebration Town Center is easy from almost anywhere in the metro area. The community sits just off US-192 and is accessible from both I-4 and the 417 Expressway. Walt Disney World is about 10-15 minutes away, Downtown Orlando is roughly 30-35 minutes, and nearby communities like Dr. Phillips and Kissimmee are 10-25 minutes out.
Parking is free in lots adjacent to the Town Center, though it can fill up during peak holiday events. The entire downtown is walkable, so you can park once and explore Market Street Gallery, grab a smoothie at Gypsy Moon, stroll around Lake Rianhard, and enjoy lakefront dining at the Columbia Restaurant on Front Street — all without moving your car.
