Each November, the Paris Optimist Club proudly hosts “A Holiday Market in Paris”—a festive, community-driven event that brings together local artisans, makers, and small businesses just in time for the holiday season.

Held at the Paris Fairgrounds, this two-day market features approximately 80–90 vendors, offering a wide variety of handcrafted goods, seasonal décor, gifts, and specialty items. It’s the perfect opportunity to shop local, discover unique products, and kick off the holidays in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.


In the true spirit of community, all admission proceeds are donated annually to the Paris Community Christmas Hampers, helping support families in need during the holiday season.
Proceeds from vendor registration go directly toward the Paris Optimist Club’s ongoing efforts to support local youth programs and initiatives.

We welcome a diverse range of vendors and are always excited to showcase new talent and businesses.
If you are interested in becoming a vendor, you can request more information by contacting our Event Co-Chairs:

Whether you’re shopping, supporting a cause, or connecting with the community, A Holiday Market in Paris is a cherished annual tradition that we are proud to host.
