*Edited 11/13/2025 to add more area markets!
Believe it or not, the holidays are HERE! One of my favorite
things about Lawrence is the vibrant creator community, and what a better way
to support our local artists, makers, farmers and small businesses than by
making an effort to shop local during this season. If you know me, you know I’m
a planner…seeing all the save-the-dates and market fliers popping up, I want to
help you plan too with this easy and as-comprehensive-as-I-can-make-it guide to
shopping holiday markets in Lawrence, KS! Although several markets are more
than one day, they are listed in order of when they first show up on the
calendar. Check out the shareable graphic below!
