Holiday Mart 2022

Holiday Mart 2022 has come to a close (it ran September 29-October 2 this year) and I am so proud of our entire committee for all the work that went into planning the show this year! We welcomed 100 amazing retailers back to Bartle Hall and had several new events including opening with our Exclusive Preview Party (featuring entertainment from Stage Right Performing Arts). Over the weekend we held our Friday evening Happy Hour, and Saturday Miller Marley performed. Sunday closed with a visit from Santa’s reindeer.

I’m so grateful to my amazing co-chair, Heather, for her partnership, leadership and friendship. I couldn’t have made it through the year without her! Thank you to everyone who came and shopped this year, I can’t wait to cheer on our Holiday Mart 2023 Co-Chairs, Halie and Kristen, as they start planning next year’s Mart (and attend as a shopper!)

Holiday Mart 2021

Over the past year the JLKCMO’s Holiday Mart Committee has been hard at work bringing back our in-person show for 2021! I was proud to serve as Chief-of-Staff and Step-Up Co-Chair alongside Heather Peña. Kirsten and Danee, the 2021 Chairs, did an amazing job and we have lots to live up to as we kick off planning for 2022! If you live in Kansas City mark your calendars for September 28-October 3rd, 2022 to shop and support our community!
