The Junior League of Indianapolis (JLI) will host its 52nd Holiday Mart Nov. 16-19 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Blue Ribbon Pavilion. The Holiday Mart is a shopping event with almost 90 curated vendors and artisans offering a range of projects, from unique home goods to jewelry, fashion products and holiday decorations.
Funds raised during the event will be used to support JLIās community projects and programs.
āSince 1971, the Junior League has hosted Holiday Mart, and the growth we have experienced since its inception has been tremendous,ā said JLI President Elizabeth Scott. āAs our signature fundraising event, this multi-day shopping experience will raise funds that will benefit hundreds of central Indiana children in foster or kinship care while providing caregivers and local agencies financial support to meet their rising needs.ā
