From the massive food truck rallies serving up hot croquetas and arepas to the artisan stalls featuring handmade jewelry, these markets are the heart of the community.

Top Holiday Markets in Weston and South Florida for 2026

1. Weston Town Center’s End-of-Year Holiday Market

Located at the iconic 2000 Main Street, this is the quintessential Weston holiday market experience. Held in late November and early December (typically Nov 30, Dec 1, Dec 7, and Dec 8), this market transforms the Mediterranean-style Town Center into a winter wonderland. Expect over 50 local artisans, live music, and a festive atmosphere that draws families from all over Broward County. Admission is usually a modest $2.00, making it an accessible outing for everyone.

2. The Craft Show of the Holiday Season at Weston Town Center

If you are looking for one-of-a-kind gifts, this specific craft show is a highlight of the Weston Florida holiday market calendar. Usually held in early December, it features high-end handmade goods ranging from tropical-themed ornaments to artisanal chocolates. It is the perfect place to shop while enjoying the outdoor ambiance of Weston’s premier shopping destination.

3. Symphony in the Park: Holiday Favorites

For a more melodic experience, head to Weston Regional Park at 20200 Saddle Club Road. On December 14, 2026, the city hosts a holiday concert al fresco by the water. While primarily a musical event, the surrounding area often features local vendors and food trucks, offering a relaxed way to soak in the South Florida holiday spirit under the stars.

4. CHRISTmas Lights in the Acres (Plantation)

Just a short drive from Weston in neighboring Plantation, this event at the Plantation Baptist Church is a South Florida staple. Running from late November through late December, it features a massive light display synchronized to music. It is a favorite for families who want to combine a light show with a small-scale market atmosphere featuring seasonal treats.

5. Miami Christmas Market at the German-American Social Club

For those willing to drive south into Miami, this market at 11919 SW 56th St offers a traditional European vibe with a tropical twist. Held in early December, you can find mulled wine (served chilled if the humidity is high!), handcrafted nutcrackers, and authentic German bratwursts. It is a fantastic example of the multicultural holiday spirit that defines the Miami area.

6. Holiday Shopping Fair at South Florida Fairgrounds

Located in West Palm Beach, this massive two-day indoor event in mid-November is the best way to beat the heat while getting all your shopping done. With thousands of items from hundreds of vendors, it is a premier destination for those who want variety. Unite Worldwide helps many such large-scale organizers manage their vendor layouts and applications seamlessly.

What to Expect: The Miami Market Vibe

Shopping at a holiday market in Weston or Miami is different than anywhere else. Because of our year-round growing season, you will often find fresh tropical fruits like starfruit and passionfruit alongside holiday wreaths. The bilingual community ensures that you will hear a mix of English and Spanish holiday hits, and the food options are world-class. Don't be surprised to see a line for a food truck serving gourmet Latin fusion right next to a stall selling knitted scarves.

Pro Tips for Visitors:

• Arrive Early: Parking at Weston Town Center can fill up fast, especially during the evening hours.
• Dress Light: Even in December, South Florida can be humid. Opt for breathable fabrics.
• Bring Cash: While many vendors use modern payment systems, some smaller artisans prefer cash for quick transactions.
• Check the Calendar: Many markets overlap with Art Basel in early December, so expect higher traffic throughout the region.
