This year, Holiday Mart is turning up the cheer with a brand-new performance stage, featuring live entertainment from local favorites like Carmel Music Academy, the Butler Flute Quartet, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, Village Dance Studio, and the Harmony Magic Chorus. Families can browse unique gifts from more than 100 vendors, including returning favorites like Rock-A-Toy, Art 2 The Extreme, and Discovery Toys, as well as exciting new vendors like Kids Ink Books and Kudu Kids, all while enjoying festive tunes, dance performances, and a truly magical holiday atmosphere.

Back by popular demand, the Shopper’s Eve event returns on Thursday, November 20, from 6–10 PM, giving guests exclusive early access to shop before the crowds arrive. Attendees can enjoy complimentary drinks and light bites, enter raffles for local Indy staycations at the brand-new InterContinental, Westin, and JW Marriott, and even take advantage of valet parking. It’s the perfect parents’ night out and the ultimate kickoff to a weekend full of holiday fun. Plus, each Shoppers Eve ticket receives a return ticket so you can come back another time Friday or Saturday!

Each ticket to Holiday Mart supports the Junior League of Indianapolis’ mission to advance women’s leadership and uplift youth in foster and kinship care. Whether you’re shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts, enjoying local performances, or creating festive memories with your family, Holiday Mart is a heartwarming way to celebrate the season and give back to your community.
