City Market’s 9th Annual Merry Market!

Head to City Market for its ninth year of holiday shopping, running weekends from late November through mid-December. This open-air winter market brings together over 100 local vendors selling handcrafted gifts—everything from ornaments and candles to jewelry, pottery, toys, and home décor. You'll also find fresh seasonal items from local farmers, food from City Market restaurants, and live entertainment throughout the day to keep the holiday spirit alive. It's a great outing for families of all sizes (pets welcome too!). Admission is completely free, and there's plenty to do beyond shopping: watch live music and street performers, spot Santa and the Grinch, enter giveaways, and grab photo opportunities. Free parking is available at 7th & Main, plus you can ride the KC Street Car for added convenience and fun. Whether you're hunting for one-of-a-kind gifts, sampling holiday treats, or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere, this is an excellent way to support local makers and artists while tackling your holiday list.
