Join us Nov. 13–22, 2026, for a heart-warming holiday celebration that brightens spirits, supports community impact, and sparks joy for all ages.

Come together under twinkling lights to shop, celebrate, and give back. The Junior League of Austin’s A Christmas Affair® is more than a marketplace. It’s a cherished holiday tradition that celebrates the warmth of community and the joy of generosity while raising critical funds that strengthen lives across Central Texas.

A Christmas Affair® is The Junior League of Austin’s (JLA) signature holiday market and largest annual fundraiser. Featuring a curated selection of over 200 merchants and festive experiences, the event supports our mission to empower women and strengthen the Austin community.

Whether you’re a merchant, shopper, or sponsor, you play a vital role in bringing this season to life by helping create a joyful, welcoming event that shines far beyond the holiday season to support JLA’ signature impact programs and community partnerships.
