Family-friendly holiday market with local vendors, live music and meet-and-greet photo opportunities with holiday figures like The Grinch, Krampus and Jack Skellington.
The Big Ole Queer Market returns to the Palmer Events Center on Saturday, Nov. 28, and Sunday, Nov. 29, for its Holiday Villains Edition. It's a family-friendly weekend that brings together local vendors, live music, and meet-and-greet photo opportunities with holiday characters. This year's theme leans into the darker side of the season, so you'll find The Grinch, Krampus, and Jack Skellington on hand for photos.
Between the booths, there's live music and hand-drawn art by James Talon. The market is built around local small businesses, so it's a good spot to pick up holiday gifts from Austin makers rather than big-box stores. The whole thing is family-friendly, so it works as a weekend outing with kids as much as a solo stroll through the stalls.
