Merry Marketplace

The Valdosta Junior Service League is thrilled to host Merry Marketplace 2024!

Saturday, November 16: 8 AM - 5 PM

Sunday, November 17: 12PM - 5 PM

This year’s show will be held at the James H. Rainwater Conference Center in Valdosta, Georgia. The 2023 event was a huge success with over 3,000 shoppers in two days! Merry Marketplace (MMP) will feature nearly 100 artisans and boutique vendors from across the Southeast, and as always, proceeds will help fund dozens of Junior Service League community projects benefiting the health, education and welfare of Lowndes County and surrounding areas. In addition to shopping, we will have a full weekend of special events!

Early Bird Shopping - Shopping for these special ticket holders runs Saturday morning from 8 AM - 10 AM and allows an early start to shopping with breakfast, coffee, and special raffle!

Character Breakfast - This special ticket will provide parents and children an opportunity to enjoy breakfast while meeting their favorite characters. In addition, during your breakfast time, you will have the opportunity to grab a photo with Santa before the crowd comes in! Breakfast times are Saturday morning at 9 AM, 10 AM, and 11AM.

Santa will be available for you and your children to meet and have your photo professionally made with. Make sure to stop by Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM -5 PM.
