Kansas Global Holiday Market

at Riverfront Stadium

New in 2023, the Kansas Global Holiday Market, Dec. 8-10, is inspired by the popular European Christmas markets found in Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other countries. Held at Riverfront Stadium, it is marked by lots of twinkling lights, regional foods, shopping and a festive spirit. Visitors to the Kansas Global Holiday Market will experience holiday spirit from around the world with more than 30 countries represented at the three-day event. An all-access pass for the entire three-day market can be purchased for $15, or one lucky winner will receive a family-four pack in an online Kansas Global Holiday Market ticket giveaway.

Expect cultural performances all weekend. International groups are signed up to share dance, instrumental and choral performances, as well as storytelling. A full list of the Kansas Global Holiday Market performance schedule can be found online.

Taste dishes from around the world including German hot spiced wine called Glühwein, Chinese candied fruits called Tanghulu, Mexican chocolate-covered churros, and of course familiar favorites such as boba tea and fried rice. Your taste buds will thank you for this new experience.

Rethink your Christmas shopping list this year. The shopping market allows you to buy unique gifts for family and friends, you can’t find anywhere else. Kansas and artisanal goods from around the world will be within your reach. Shop clothing, beaded necklaces, fine art, packaged sweets, and leather goods. For the children, don’t miss out on meeting Santa Claus, and Mrs. Claus will be reading cultural stories.
