Market Noel returns to the Finley Center on November 21-23 for three days of shopping and special events.
Presented by the Junior League of Birmingham, this annual event brings amazing shopping options to the Hoover area, helping you cover all the bases for the holidays.
The market features over 60 vendors selling boutique items, candles, gourmet food and beverages, children’s items, clothing, beauty products, jewelry, books, home decor, pottery, art and more.
For added convenience, Market Noel shoppers can take advantage of a digital shopping guide and explore their favorite vendors’ websites before attending. Event maps are included in the guide, as well as can’t-miss stops that shouldn’t be missed while exploring this year’s market.
Additionally, shoppers can choose to participate in several special events that are planned for this year; separate tickets for these events need to be purchased in advance:
Preview Noel - Held on Nov. 20 from 7-10 p.m., Preview Noel is the place to be. Enjoy an evening of exclusive shopping, the chance for prizes, and swag bag giveaways.
Milk and Cookies with Santa - On Nov. 22 from 3-6 p.m., experience the thrill of milk and cookies with Santa. Each ticket includes a delicious cookie from Cookie Fix, activities and a photo with Santa.
Brunch with the Big Guy - This will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 9-11 a.m. Each ticket includes brunch, a special reading of The Polar Express, additional activities and a photo with Santa.
Funds raised through Market Noel’s admission and special event ticket sales will help the organization work to “meet the ever-growing needs of our community,” stated the JLB website. Comprised of local women who support women’s leadership and strive to positively impact the community, the JLB “combines the effort and experiences of approximately 2,000 trained volunteers to execute 24 community projects and over 30 annual hands-on service initiatives, and more.”
