Had a great time at the Holiday Market. There was quite a variety of products and food choices. I'd highly recommend. It's exciting to see all the shoppers and vendors. It seemed like there were more vendors this year which is fantastic for shoppers. Can't wait to attend again next year. Be sure to bring your shopping bags and holiday spirit. �

This was our 2nd year going and we went on Sunday. Even though the venue was bigger, it was still just as crowded as before and hard to maneuver through the crowd. Also, the stroller situation was a big issue and no one (or very few) utilized the stroller parking area out in the main entry. I get it, I have kids but the strollers made it more difficult to get around. Maybe it would be possible to have a stroller free day? It would be great in the same venue but have 2 floors open. The vendors we’re great and I liked that you... read more

It was definitely crowded on Saturday at opening for the first few hours, but Friday afternoon and Sunday were not overcrowded and you could easily get through the aisles. The show had expanded from last year and plans to expand next year. It is hard to tell everybody not to come at once at opening and on Saturday, that is exactly what happened. Saturday at opening is always the busiest time. There are also VIP and early shopping pass is available with limited numbers and NO strollers allowed. Please do not let an overcrowde... read more

Friday: I️ bought the early ticket...and it is the way to go! However, only having two hours before the doors open was not enough. We only got through two aisles in that time frame. Most of the vendors take too long during check-out. The lines were too long to even buy stuff. Although I️ have two children, I️ do not think strollers should be allowed at this event. The aisles are too narrow, and it really increases the congestion. What a great day to get a babysitter and enjoy a day out - or maybe some type of babysitting ser... read more

This was my first time at this market, and I have to say, I was less than impressed. It was very crowded, I kept loosing sight of my mother because of all the people! I’m not fond of bumping into other people every 10 seconds and saying “oh sorry; excuse me” 10 thousand times. Also, I wasn’t impressed with the vendors. A lot of things were very pricey and also not all that unique. I have to say, I probably will not return.

Holiday Market was entirely too crowded! You couldn’t move. It was very frustrating trying to maneuver around the booths. It might be a good idea for people to buy tickets that have a certain time frame on them which would limit the number of people in the convention center. Vendors missed out on potential sales due to overcrowding and frustrated customers.

The Mr and i went Saturday around 1:00pm. Here’s my take and why i chose 4 stars (if anyone cares lol) 1: Go either early (buy the early entry) or go after noon when the crowd is smaller. (Notice i didn’t say small-doubt that it ever is) 2: And here come the haters. Leave the babies at home or put them in a carrier. I love kids. Have 3 of my own. But this is NO place for strollers much less the giant double strollers i saw yesterday. They don’t care about being there. And you’re just making everyone else (including yourself ... read more

I love the holiday market! My girlfriends and I have gone every year since it started and now our tween daughters go with us too. This year the vendors were great!
