Get ready to kick off the season in style with the Holiday Modern Market at the Omaha Palazzo at 5110 N. 132nd St., Omaha. From Nov. 21–23, this holiday shopping event, hosted by A Local Collective, brings together more than 30 of Nebraska’s most creative small shops under one festive roof.
Shop local, shop unique
The weekend kicks off with Ladies’ Night on Friday from 5–8 p.m., presented by Elevate Recovery and Medspa. Think cocktails, shopping and giveaways, from deluxe facials to wellness perks and a grand prize that includes Botox and filler. Swag bags and special discounts make the night extra indulgent. On Saturday and Sunday, the market is in full swing from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. More than 30 local vendors will be showing off everything from cozy holiday décor and handmade gifts to boutique fashion and artisanal treats. It’s the perfect place to find something special you won’t spot in the big-box aisles.
Sips, snacks and Santa
Shopping is even better with a drink in hand. Guests can grab coffee, cocoa, cocktails and snacks while they wander. Families will appreciate the Little Locals play area too — because a little entertainment for the kiddos makes holiday shopping a whole lot smoother. And Santa himself will be there, so make sure you’ve got your wish list handy for the big man.
Shopping that gives back
What makes this year’s Holiday Modern Market even more meaningful is that a portion of ticket sales will support Angels Among Us, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping families with children battling cancer. A Local Collective co-founders Katie Lakin and Jill Dudzinski are honored to partner with the organization for this event. “Angels Among Us provides financial assistance to families facing the unimaginable, and we are proud to support their mission of easing the stress these families endure,” says Lakin. It’s holiday shopping with heart — giving back while celebrating the season.
