In 2007, the Junior League of Lexington launched the Holly Day Market as an event to raise funds to further the League's mission of promoting the quality of life in the Bluegrass. Portions of ticket sales and funds go to local and nonprofit charities.The Holly Day Market brings vendors from across the United States to Lexington for one weekend to give shoppers the opportunity to buy holiday gifts in one spectacular location. Vendors sell jewelry; clothes for women, men and children; toys; books; holiday decorations; ornaments; art; food; and more. Plus, the Market offers daily events and activities for everyone including a visit from Santa.
