Tips & Advice
- Buy the weekend pass if you'll shop more than one day, because single-day passes are good for one day of admission only.
- Pre-order a Gingerbread House Kit, a UTCT tradition with a wooden house, icing and candies, since kits are available only until they sell out.
- Seniors 65 and older can buy reduced daily admission, and children 12 and under get into the market free.
- Book Drop and Shop if you want to shop without the kids, since volunteers run the session and follow strict sign-in and sign-out procedures.
- Pre-purchase raffle tickets for an extra chance to win during Mimosas at the Market, and remember you don't need to be present to win.
