Louisiana's holiday season opens with Tinsel & Treasures Holiday Market in Lafayette on Sep 24, 2026 and runs through Dec 19, 2026. Of the 14 listed fairs, 1 is in September, 1 in October, 7 in November, and 5 in December. The busiest single day is Saturday, Nov 14, 2026, when 3 fairs run at once.
New Orleans has the most holiday markets with 3, followed by Gonzales (2) and Lake Charles (2). Smaller towns often have a single church or school bazaar that draws the whole area, so it is worth checking the full Louisiana list for anything scheduled before Sep 24, 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.
