The Nutcracker Market is back

It’s time for holiday shopping! The 2023 Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market takes place Nov. 9-12 at NRG Center. This is the 43rd year for the beloved event, and shoppers will find their favorite holiday and home décor, gifts, food, jewelry, apparel, toys, accessories, and one-of-a-kind festive items. Decked in holiday lights and color, the market is prepared to welcome shoppers, with proceeds from ticket sales plus 11 percent of merchandise purchases benefitting Houston Ballet’s programming. Nutcracker Market chair Katrina Arnim, a longtime Houston Ballet Guild and Nutcracker Market committee member, and the committee (pictured), have been preparing for months to bring the holiday favorite back this year. General admission tickets are $20 (cash or check) at the door. Visit nutcrackermarket.com for more information.
