For many folks, it’s never too early to think about holiday shopping. If you’re one of the people who like to have everything wrapped up by Thanksgiving, you won’t want to miss the Greater Cincinnati Holiday Market.
Along with an extra day of shopping this year, the market also has many a number of new features. (Details below!)
“We are thrilled to be expanding the Queen City’s favorite holiday show to 4 days this year,” said Kelly Scott, show manager. “The Greater Cincinnati Holiday Market truly kicks off the holiday season, and we are bringing you more festive fun than ever before! We are so proud to be hosting more than 400 local boutiques and vendors, and to be partnering with several local, charitable causes including the Butler County Special Olympics, Make-A-Wish OKI, and the Cincinnati Sounds Chorus.”
This massive show is one of the largest of its kind in the Midwest. A cherished Cincinnati holiday tradition, the show features an expansive variety of handmade holiday gifts, décor, apparel, toys, unique treasures, gourmet food, baked goods, abundant festive photo opportunities, a massive, sparkling Christmas tree, and the sweet sounds of live carolers to get you into the holiday spirit.
“Get ready to sip, shop and sleigh those holiday lists, while supporting local vendors and important causes in our community. Together we will make a big difference while celebrating the season,” said Scott.
