Mark your calendars for an exciting event that blends community, creativity, and purpose—our 8th Annual Holiday Artisan Market Featuring Student Entrepreneurs is happening Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 11 AM to 2 PM!

Hosted by House of Shine, a leadership development nonprofit, the Holiday Artisan Market is a signature event that showcases the talents and entrepreneurial spirit of young leaders, ages 8–18. At House of Shine, we believe that where your talents and interests meet a community need is where your SHINE truly lives—and this market is a perfect example of that philosophy in action.

The Artisan Market is a festive opportunity to support young entrepreneurs, find unique handcrafted holiday gifts, and experience the spirit of community that defines House of Shine. Leading up to the event, student entrepreneurs have been hard at work—crafting, designing, and refining one-of-a-kind products like handmade jewelry, home-baked goods, holiday cards, crochet items, paintings, and more. Along the way, they’ve gained hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, marketing, and leadership through workshops such as Discover Your Strengths, Middle School StrengthsExplorer, SHINE, and Point of Intersection. Each entrepreneur donates at least 10% of their sales to a charity of their choice—building confidence, self-awareness, and community impact all at once.

Join us for an inspiring day of shopping, fun, and festivities—including a food truck, live music, and family-friendly activities. By attending, you’re not only getting a head start on your holiday shopping, but also empowering young changemakers and contributing to a great cause.

Admission to the 8th Annual Holiday Artisan Market is free and open to the public—no ticket required to attend. However, guests are invited to purchase a Holiday Shopper Pass ($4), which includes a reusable 2025 Holiday Artisan Market shopping bag.

Quantities are limited, so grab your Holiday Shopper Pass early to enjoy an eco-friendly way to carry your market finds while supporting young entrepreneurs!
