The convenience, easy parking, 2 levels of holiday cheer, festive food and more!

The Greater Cincinnati Holiday Market is being held at the Sharonville Convention Center this year, November 8-10. There are SO many reasons why we love this centrally located, suburban venue, and we know you will too!

1. Convenient, Northern Cincinnati Location

The centrally-located Sharonville Convention Center is so easy to get to from every area of Greater Cincinnati! Whether you’re coming from the northern suburbs, Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kentucky, or the east or west side of Cincinnati, this location is conveniently located for all, just off of the intersection of I-275 and I-75.

2. Two Levels of Holiday Cheer

Explore two glorious levels packed full of festive fun, food, gifts and décor galore! Check out this year’s show floor map (link to map image or webpage) to plan your visit on both levels to make the most of your holiday shopping experience.

No visit to the show is complete without a visit with Santa! Be sure to head down to the lower level to shop incredible vendors and take a selfie with Santa in front of the gorgeous background display created by Fleurish Home. The cocktails and food court are located on the lower level too, so don’t miss it!

3. Easy Access and Ample Parking

With ample FREE parking options (link to parking map image from Kelly) surrounding the Sharonville Convention Center and the convenient, suburban location, you’ll love the accessibility and ease of getting to and from this year’s show.
