The Mistletoe Market has been canceled after the 2023 event. From the event organizers, “With heartfelt gratitude, we’re bidding adieu to the Mistletoe Market. Your incredible support has made this event truly memorable. As we close this chapter, we’re eagerly anticipating our next exciting venture. Stay tuned for more amazing events from the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta ahead! Thank you for being a part of our journey.”
In years past, metro Atlanta shoppers could plan on getting an early start on their Holiday gift giving at the Annual Mistletoe Market hosted by the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta (JLCM). The JLCM’s Mistletoe Market was a shopping event that was held at the Cobb County Civic Center located at 548 South Marietta Parkway in Marietta, Georgia. Shoppers could purchase holiday gifts from booths offering clothing, candles, specialty food items, art, home decor and much more.
More than 50 merchants from across the Southeast offered a premiere holiday shopping experience that featured locally created, premium goods including the latest trends in apparel, jewelry, children’s clothing and gifts, home and garden accents, gourmet food products and culinary treats, specialty gift items, and holiday apparel and accessories.
As the largest fundraiser for the JCLM, Mistletoe Market was a wonderful opportunity to shop for high quality items while helping fund community projects supported by the JLCM. Each year, the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta’s financial impact was more than $200,000 through annual grants and volunteer hours being given to various community projects and agencies in Cobb County including Cobb County Safety Village, The Center for Family Resources, SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, The Center for Children and Young Adults, Communities in Schools, Omosaze, Inc., and the Cobb County Youth Museum.

Why has the Mistletoe Market been canceled for 2015? I go every year and LOVE this show!
Via http://www.jlcm.org:
For the past 24 years, the Junior League Cobb—Marietta has enthusiastically
hosted the Mistletoe Market. With the commitment of our members, vendors and
sponsors, we have raised thousands of dollars that the Junior League has
proudly given back to the women and children of our community.
This past summer, it was announced that the Cobb County Civic Center, traditionally where the Mistletoe Market is held, would be closed for renovation beginning in March 2015. This renovation is expected take approximately one year to complete. What this means for JLCM is that we do have not have a venue for our Mistletoe Market in October 2015.
However, we will be hosting the Gingerbread House: Competition, Showcase and Gala the weekend of November 13-14, 2015. We are excited for this change and can’t wait to begin a new tradition in Cobb County while serving the community.
Will the Mistletoe Market be held st the Cobb County Fairgrounds in 2016 if so what is the date?
I was disappointed, hardly any arts and crafts and mostly new stuff . Plus $8 to get in , which I don’t mind paying if if it’s unusual items .
