About Best Christmas Markets USA

Best Christmas Markets USA is an independent guide to Christmas and holiday markets across the United States. It exists to answer the questions people ask before they get in the car: is it open on the day we can go, what time does it close, where exactly is it and do we need tickets?

Who's Behind It

Hi, I'm Chris Davidson. I live in Nottinghamshire, England, and I'm a dad of seven, so a day out at a Christmas market takes some planning. More than once I've looked a market up and found three different sets of dates, two of them from earlier years.

I built Best Christmas Markets to fix that for the UK's markets, and this is the same guide for America's, built the same way. Every date on it has been read on the organizer's own page for this year, and each market shows the day it was checked.

My day job is IT: I run Bobble Solutions, looking after servers for other businesses.

If you spot something that's wrong or out of date, please tell me.

Where Our Information Comes From

Dates, hours and entry costs come from the organizer's, venue's or city's own website, never from another guide. Every market page links to the source and shows the date we checked it.
Rankings are counted from search data, not chosen. Nobody can pay to be included or to move up.

The full method is on How We Check Dates.
