The Fabulous Mistletoe Market opened its doors on Thursday, Nov. 5, at the Bennett Event Center in Oklahoma City. The four-day event runs through Sunday, Nov. 8, and features more than 130 independent vendors. It serves as a venue for holiday shopping and community fundraising simultaneously.
Organizers describe the market as a centralized location for buyers to find boutique clothing, men's accessories, specialty foods, and handcrafted gifts. The layout allows shoppers to compare physical products from local makers in a single trip. This structure offers an alternative to online purchasing during the early holiday season.
Thursday evening began with the Premier Party. This ticketed session grants attendees first access to the booths before general hours begin. From Friday through Sunday, the schedule includes live performers and popup activities. Saturday morning offers a specific family feature: Santa storytime and photo opportunities are available at no extra cost from 10 a.m. to noon.
Proceeds from ticket sales and vendor participation support the Junior League of Oklahoma City. The nonprofit focuses on developing leadership skills among female volunteers. These trained volunteers then channel support to more than a dozen partner charities in the metro area.
JLOC leaders state that the funds raised at the market help underwrite volunteer programs and community projects throughout the year. The revenue also provides professional-development opportunities for League members. These opportunities aim to strengthen the local nonprofit sector.
The event combines dozens of sellers with live features and family-friendly elements. It positions itself as a practical stop for residents who want to shop while contributing to local causes. The market remains open at the Bennett Event Center in OKC Fair Park until the end of the week.
Detailed schedules, vendor lists, and ticket options are available at jloc.org/mistletoe-market. The organization manages the logistics for the 130-plus merchants participating in the annual fair.
