First-Timer Tips
Bring a Big Bag
You'll want room for all your finds. A tote or large shopping bag keeps your hands free for cocktails.
Cards & Venmo Accepted
Most makers accept credit cards and Venmo, but having some cash handy never hurts for smaller purchases.
Have Your Ticket Ready
Pull up your Eventbrite ticket before you arrive. QR codes are scanned at the door — no paper needed.
Free Parking
Park in the Hollywood Casino lot — it's free and plentiful. Enter through the Event Center entrance (right side of building).
Plan 2-3 Hours
There's a lot to see! Budget time to browse all 80+ makers, grab a cocktail, snap Santa photos, and enter the raffle.
Kids on Saturday
Kids are welcome all day Saturday. Under 21s enter through the Event Center entrance (separate from the casino floor).
Give the Gift of VIP
Surprise someone with the ultimate holiday shopping experience. VIP tickets make the perfect gift — cocktails, first pick from 80+ makers, and a night they'll never forget.
