Houston’s Spring Nutcracker Market Arrives With In-Person Shopping at Long Last!

-

The Nutcracker Market! It’s finally here! Or, at least, the Spring edition of it is! 

For those of you who are new to this, the Nutcracker Market is one of the most exciting shopping experiences of the year in Houston! Every Spring and Winter, an exciting selection of local vendors gathers at NRG Stadium to sell some truly unique items. From food to clothing to toys and art, guests can expect to fill their bags with all that catches their fancy from the stalls. And the best part? Not only do the proceeds go to great independent vendors, but also to fund the special Houston theater production of the Nutcracker! 

While the Spring edition of the Nutcracker Market is typically smaller in scale, you can still expect all the finest of shopping options if you’re looking for some much-needed socialization and fun. I have fond memories of going with my mother back in the time before Covid. I always look forward to the tasty selection of snacks they have there, from fresh chocolate chip cookies to hot chocolate! While I definitely love the Winter Nutcracker Market a twinge more for nostalgic reasons, the Spring Nutcracker Market definitely has a higher degree of energy to its overall atmosphere.

The Nutcracker Market, along with The Nutcracker itself, are just a few of the many reasons to come live in Houston. Where else can you find such a warm community atmosphere? Living here definitely has its perks, from affordable prices to pet-friendly communities. Places like Bayou Park, Barcelona, City West, Village at Piney Point, Villa Nueva, and Waterstone Place are all examples of great places to live nearby. Houston prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere so you’re sure to always fit in wherever you go!

The Spring Nutcracker Market will be a three-day event running from April 16th through April 18th. It can get a little crowded so make sure to get to NRG Park early to beat the lines! And, above all else, you MUST wear a mask when attending. The last thing you want is Covid spoiling your shopping experience. Tickets are typically $18-$20 per person. For additional information, you can visit their main website HERE. 

The Nutcracker Market is, and always will be, very dear to me. And I’m honestly so glad that I can finally attend again after a whole year of missing out. Embrace the spirit of the season and buy your ticket today!
