The annual holiday shopping fair known as the Fabulous Mistletoe Market opens this week at the Bennett Event Center in Oklahoma City, bringing more than 130 vendors, family activities and community fundraising to OKC Fair Park. Running Nov. 5–8, the four-day event offers early gift shopping and free children’s programming while raising money for the Junior League of Oklahoma City.
What to expect at the market
Organizers say the market assembles a wide range of independent sellers — from boutique clothing and men’s accessories to specialty foods and handcrafted gifts — aimed at helping shoppers check items off their holiday lists in one place.
Thursday evening begins with a ticketed Premier Party that gives attendees first access to booths. Across Friday to Sunday, the schedule includes live performers and popup activities; on Saturday morning, Santa storytime and photos are available at no extra cost.

Community impact and beneficiaries
Proceeds from the market support the Junior League of Oklahoma City and its local initiatives. The League focuses on developing leadership skills in women volunteers and channels trained support to more than a dozen partner charities in the metro area.
JLOC leaders say funds raised at the market help underwrite volunteer programs and community projects throughout the year, while also offering League members professional-development opportunities that strengthen the nonprofit sector locally.
Why this matters now
With holiday shopping timelines shifting earlier, events like Mistletoe Market provide a concentrated, community-minded alternative to online buying. Shoppers can discover local makers, compare products in person and support volunteer-driven programs at the same time.
The combination of dozens of vendors, live features and family-friendly elements makes the market a practical stop for anyone wanting to shop thoughtfully and contribute to local charities this season.
