Merry Marketplace 2026
The Junior League of Odessa is proud to present the 43rd annual Merry Marketplace, our signature holiday shopping tradition and largest fundraiser of the year.
Join us at the Ector County Coliseum November 5-7, 2026 for shopping, special events, and community celebration.
New this year:
This year, we’re introducing a fresh new experience: Sip & Shop: A Ladies Champagne Brunch Experience.
Instead of the traditional Ladies Luncheon and Style Show, guests will enjoy a hot brunch served throughout the morning in our VIP tent overlooking the 18-foot Christmas tree. You can stop and dine at any time between 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., making it a relaxed and flexible experience designed around your shopping.
Bars will be open all day with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available, creating a true ladies day out.
The event will take place on Friday morning, November 6, 2026, and will include exclusive perks for guests who purchase tables, along with a limited number of individual tickets to ensure an enjoyable experience.
For questions, contact info@jlodessa.org or call (432) 332-0095.
