Tips & Advice

  • Buy Preview Party or Sip N Shop tickets in advance, because special event tickets sell out quickly and are only sold at the door if any remain.
  • Leave the kids and strollers at home for the Preview Party and Sip N Shop, since both evening events are grown-up only affairs.
  • If the Civic Center lot is full, park at First United Methodist Church and take the shuttle that runs to the Civic Center entrance.
  • Take a break at the Bruins Bistro for BBQ nachos, taco soup, chicken salad croissants or pimento cheese sandwiches, washed down with a Coca-Cola product.
  • You can buy general admission tickets at the door, so a shopping-day visit doesn't need to be booked ahead the way the special events do.

  • Preview Party opens Holiday Mart on Thursday, November 19. It's adults only, needs a separate ticket and is sponsored by Robinson Toyota.
