This year’s show will be held at the James H. Rainwater Conference Center in Valdosta, Georgia. The 2024 event was a huge success with over 3,000 shoppers in two days! Merry Marketplace will feature nearly 100 artisans and boutique vendors from across the Southeast, and as always, proceeds will help fund dozens of Junior Service League community projects benefiting the health, education and welfare of Lowndes County and surrounding areas. In addition to shopping, we will have a full weekend of special events!
“A Very Merry Preview” - Shopping for these special ticket holders runs Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Sponsored by Astro Exterminating Services. Guests will enjoy a more intimate and upscale shopping environment complete with festive décor. Shoppers will get the first opportunity to browse and buy from vendor booths all before the general admission days begin. This replaces our traditional Saturday Early Bird special and offers you a unique opportunity in a more relaxed, crowd-controlled setting. It’s the perfect way to kick off the weekend with great energy, enhanced visibility, and added value for your participation.
Character Breakfast - Sponsored by Lee Property Holdings. This special ticketed event will provide parents and children an opportunity to enjoy breakfast while meeting their favorite characters. In addition, during your breakfast time, you will have the opportunity to grab a photo with Santa before the crowd comes in! Breakfast times are Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., and 10:30 a.m.
Santa will be available for you and your children to meet and have your photo professionally made. Make sure to stop by Saturday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
