One of a Kind Holiday Show

The One of a Kind Holiday Show returns to The Mart from Thursday, December 3 through Sunday, December 6, 2026, with hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, according to the organizer. More than 600 artists, designers and makers sell directly from booths on the seventh floor: jewelry, ceramics, furniture, clothing, prints, food and small-batch goods.

Tickets are sold online and at the door; the organizer had not posted 2026 prices as of late September. The show includes a pop-up market, demonstrations and food vendors, and in past years multi-day passes and evening discounts.

The Mart’s own light show, Art on theMART, projects on the building’s river face every evening from 7:30 p.m., so it pairs with a late afternoon visit.

Plan your visit

The Merchandise Mart Brown and Purple Line station is inside the building on the second floor, which makes this one of the easiest holiday events to reach by L. The organizer says there are more than 5,000 parking spaces within four blocks, with Mart Parc Wells the closest, and recommends booking through SpotHero. Saturday midday is the crush; Thursday and Friday mornings are quiet. Bring a tote for purchases and expect to check coats.
