US Christmas markets in 2026, by state

Every market here links to its organizer's own page, and we only show 2026 dates once that organizer has published them. Until then you get last year's dates, clearly labeled, so you can plan around the usual pattern.

Each listing shows the date we last checked its source; the most recent check was October 22, 2026.

Dates, hours and prices come from each organizer's own website or the official listing named with it and can change, and some sites still show last season's details. Check with the organizer before you go. How we check

Open this weekend

No market on our list is open the weekend of October 23, 2026. The season starts in November; here are the first ones to open. Opening days come from each market's schedule; closed holidays and weather closures are on the official site.

Planning tools for the rest of the season
