Ocala’s Second Annual Holiday Craft Show Set to Dazzle at World Equestrian Center
Get ready, Ocala! The Holiday Craft Show is galloping back into town from November 15-17 at the World Equestrian Center, following a wildly successful first run last year. This year’s event promises to be even bigger, filling the expansive 120,000-square-foot Expo 1 building with an array of unique holiday treasures.
Shoppers can expect everything from handcrafted jewelry and charming home décor to artisanal snacks and holiday goodies, ideal for anyone looking to snag a one-of-a-kind gift. The show is more than just shopping—it’s a celebration of community, supporting local artists and small businesses by turning every purchase into a win for independent makers.
Event hours are tailored for the weekend warrior, with doors open Friday from noon to 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday wrapping up the festivities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For the truly dedicated, Friday morning also offers an exclusive private shopping session from 10 a.m. to noon, where limited crowds, raffle prizes, and tote bags await for those willing to splurge on a $15 advance ticket.
Admission prices cater to all commitment levels: single-day tickets run $6 in advance ($8 at the door), while a 3-day pass is $14 in advance or $20 at the door. So, mark your calendars, and saddle up for a weekend of holiday cheer, community spirit, and local craftsmanship at the World Equestrian Center.
