The Christmas Carousel Holiday Gift Market is a cherished holiday shopping tradition in the Triangle area, celebrating its 39th year at the NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, North Carolina. This event brings together over 250 exhibitors, including crafters, artists, jewelry designers, and jewelers, showcasing a diverse array of products such as arts and crafts, holiday foods, gifts, floral arrangements, and holiday decorations. Spanning an impressive 90,000 square feet in the Jim Graham Building, it is recognized as one of the largest Christmas gift shows in the state, attracting thousands of holiday shoppers each year.
Attendees can look forward to a festive atmosphere with special activities, including a visit from Santa, perfect for family photos. The event is designed to ensure a comfortable experience for all visitors, with amenities such as complimentary wheelchairs available on a first-come, first-served basis and a drop-off area at the entrance tent. To support local initiatives, holiday shopping bags will be sold at the entrance by the Heritage High School FFA. The Christmas Carousel encourages attendees to purchase tickets online to avoid long lines and facilitate social distancing, though tickets will also be available at the door. With its combination of unique shopping opportunities and festive spirit, the Christmas Carousel Holiday Gift Market is a must-visit event for holiday enthusiasts.
