Kentucky's holiday season opens with Vintage Market Days of Lexington (November 2026) in Lexington on Nov 6, 2026 and runs through Dec 12, 2026. Of the 7 listed fairs, 4 are in November, and 3 in December.
Louisville has the most holiday markets with 3. Smaller towns often have a single church or school bazaar that draws the whole area, so it is worth checking the full Kentucky list for anything scheduled before Nov 6, 2026 or after Christmas.
For vendors, holiday shows are the highest-attendance events of the year and the first to fill. Use the booth ROI calculator to decide which shows are worth the fee.
