Hi all,

Up in the PacNW where we moved from, cities would often have holiday markets or a Christmas bizzare or other such named things. They were basically big places (convention center, etc) that would have booths with people selling various things. Kinda like a flea market, but fancier.

Does anyone know of anything like that around here. I'm familiar with the State Fairgrounds flea market, and I know there are quite a few arts and crafts fairs. But, I thinking beyond those.

Thanks for any guidance!

There is a Scandinavian Christmas fair every year at the fairgrounds. This year it will be on December 6th.

There's also Carolina Christmas, which will be held in the new convention center in downtown Raleigh November 20-23.

Thanks! Do you know if the Carolina Christmas event involves only Christmas items, or do people sell other goods (gifts, etc) there, as well?

Are you looking for handmade or commercial holiday items?

If you're looking for handmade art/crafts you might check out these local shows which will be on the smaller side....

Commercial items in general (not xmas/holiday specific).
