Marketplace Events Holiday Boutique

The holiday season is here, and that means it is time for one of the Kansas City area’s favorite annual events – The Holiday Boutique.

Presented by Marketplace Events and held at the Overland Park Convention Center November 15-18, 2018, the annual Holiday Boutique is the place to find the perfect gifts for friends and family for the holiday season.

This year, over 315 boutiques and companies from all over the country will bring their wares - everything from jewelry to home décor, children’s gifts and toys, apparel, handcrafted goods, custom-made gifts by local artisan designers, beauty and bath and body products, gourmet foods, stationery, things for the garden, seasonal items and more.

These unique, high-quality vendors—many of them annual fan favorites—in addition to many new boutiques and artisans, contribute to a fresh experience each year for the thousands of holiday shoppers attending the four-day event.

In addition to shopping for all the latest and trendy gifts, products and services, attendees will enjoy a wide array of special features throughout the Holiday Boutique.

On Opening Night, Thursday, November 15, join radio station Mix 93.3 (KMXV) for exciting music and special prizes.

The annual Festival of Trees features the lights and sparkle of the holiday season with uniquely decorated holiday trees, wreaths, and centerpieces donated by a wealth of local individuals, companies and civic groups. Each item is available for sale via a silent auction throughout the weekend, and proceeds go directly to the Johnson County Christmas Bureau (JCCB), which has provided holiday assistance to low-income children and families in Johnson County for over 55 years.

Special collection barrels will also be on site near the Festival of Trees. Please bring along gently used coats and/or non-perishable food items to donate to the Johnson County Christmas Bureau’s holiday assistance efforts.

On Friday night, November 16 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., its Girls Night Out. Enjoy music, drinks, fantastic door prizes, and late night, exclusive access to some of the chicest boutiques in the area to celebrate the season with your gal pals.

Saturday evening is Saturday Night Out. Bring your moms or the mother figures in your life from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for a fun evening of shopping and door prizes.

The Holiday Boutique will also include two special, roomy Shopper’s Relaxation Lounges where you can grab a drink, take a break, and re-energize in between and after hitting the shopping floor.

This year, shoppers can also help support the Johnson County Christmas Bureau by purchasing the exclusive Holiday Boutique shopping tote bag. It’s stylish, practical and helps support a great cause. And when you need a break from carrying bags of goodies around the show floor, check them in at the special fundraising Package Check area .

Tickets for the Holiday Boutique are only $12 for adults (single day, online) and $14 (single day, at the door). Children ages 12 and under are free.
