2025 Holiday Vintage and Antique Markets
Must visit events for your holiday shopping.
Vintage and antique markets are among the best places to discover unique holiday decor and gifts. Unlike major retailers stocked with the same mass-produced merchandise, these markets bring together an eclectic mix of vendors offering one-of-a-kind pieces and nostalgic finds that evoke holidays past. Here are several noteworthy fairs taking place across the country that deserve a spot on your holiday shopping itinerary.
East Coast
The Union Square Holiday Market — mid-November through December 24. Named one of the best holiday markets in America, it features more than 180 local artisans, makers, and food vendors offering unique gifts, handcrafted goods, and seasonal treats against a backdrop inspired by European Christmas markets. With its winding aisles of stalls, warm holiday spirit, and prime downtown location, it’s a must-visit stop for anyone looking to shop small and soak up some seasonal cheer in the heart of New York City.
