Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Book Premier Shopping on Friday to shop without the crowds before general admission opens. Champagne, a goodie bag and all-day admission are included.
  • Pick up Merchant Bucks as soon as you arrive, because they stretch your spending at the booths and only a limited supply is sold on-site.
  • Book a Santa's Workshop session on Saturday or Sunday so the kids can make crafts, decorate sugar cookies, write to Santa and get a photo with him.
  • Bring friends to Friday's Sip & Shop, which includes admission, two free drink tickets, local appetizers and holiday music while you shop.
  • Come Friday or Saturday if you want the most time, because Sunday has shorter market hours and fewer Santa's Workshop sessions.

  • Premier Shopping on Friday before general admission opens: crowd-free shopping with champagne, a goodie bag and all-day admission (separate ticket).
