Nebraska's holiday season opens with 2nd Annual Holiday Sip & Shop in Omaha on Nov 5, 2026 and runs through Dec 13, 2026. Of the 30 listed fairs, 20 are in November, and 10 in December. The busiest single day is Saturday, Nov 7, 2026, when 5 fairs run at once.
Omaha has the most holiday markets with 12, followed by Lincoln (7) and Fremont (3). Smaller towns often have a single church or school bazaar that draws the whole area, so it is worth checking the full Nebraska list for anything scheduled before Nov 5, 2026 or after Christmas.
For vendors, holiday shows are the highest-attendance events of the year and the first to fill. Booth fees on the fairs that publish them run from $75 to $800, averaging about $355. Use the booth ROI calculator to decide which shows are worth the fee.

Among Nebraska holiday fairs that publish fees, booths start around $75 and average about $355, with the largest shows charging up to $800. Holiday shows usually cost more than the same organizer's spring or summer events because attendance is higher.
Most holiday shows close applications one to three months before the event, and juried shows fill earliest. Open the fair's listing for its application link, and read the Nebraska permit and sales tax guide before your first show.
States not listed here have fewer than 3 holiday fairs so far this season.
