Greater Cincinnati Holiday Market Marks 25 Years of Festive Cheer

The Tri-State’s most beloved holiday shopping tradition is back and bigger than ever! The Greater Cincinnati Holiday Market, presented by General Electric Credit Union, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year at the Sharonville Convention Center, with new features, extended hours, and more festive fun than ever before.

A One-Stop Holiday Wonderland

With 230+ boutiques and vendors all under one roof, this market is the ultimate destination to find gifts for everyone on your list. From handmade crafts and home décor to gourmet treats, apparel, toys and holiday décor, it’s the perfect place to shop ‘til you drop while supporting local businesses.

New this year, general admission hours have been extended—giving shoppers even more time to explore two full floors of holiday cheer. Plus, parking is FREE, and there’s a FREE package check courtesy of SPCA Cincinnati, so you can shop hands-free while helping local rescue animals.
