Junior League of Lexington's Holly Day Market

Shopping, seasonal decorations and even Santa – the third annual Junior League of Lexington Holly Day Market is your one-stop shop of everything you’ll need for the holidays! Set for Nov. 13-15 at a new location this year, the Holly Day Market will be held at the Lexington Convention Center.

“The convenient, central location of the Lexington Convention Center will offer those who work downtown a great after-work venue, plus families will enjoy seeing all that downtown has to offer during the holiday… Show more season,” said Holly Day Market Chair Natalie Jensen.

With dozens of vendors, the Holly Day Market brings the convenience of one-stop shopping for popular gift items including jewelry, clothing, home accessories, pottery and much more. Plus, you can rest assured that you are shopping for a purpose as ticket sales and proceeds from the silent auction benefit the community through the dozens of nonprofit organizations supported by The Junior League of Lexington.

Numerous events will be held during the Market on the Main Stage and in the Children’s Corner including:
