The Junior League of Collin County opens its 31st annual holiday gift market, 'Neath the Wreath, at the Plano Event Center in Plano, Texas, from Nov. 11 to 15, 2026. The fundraiser draws roughly 10,000 to 11,000 shoppers and more than 125 merchants a year, and this edition falls in the league's 50th year of service in Collin County.

What will shoppers find at the market?

The main market runs Thursday, Nov. 12, through Sunday, Nov. 15. Organizers say vendors come from across Texas and beyond, selling holiday and home decor, women's clothing, accessories, jewelry, children's items and gourmet food.

This year's theme is "A Nostalgic Christmas." Courtney Monroe, who chairs the 2026 market, said in a statement that the theme felt natural because the holidays are a time "when the magic of coming together reminds us what matters most."

Why you should go

  • Shop for the season in one place. More than 125 merchants gather under one roof, from decor and apparel to gourmet food and gifts for children.
  • Support local programs. The market is the league's largest fundraiser and has raised more than $6.1 million over 31 years for educational and community projects serving Collin County families.
  • Start early at Ladies Night Out. The Nov. 11 preview party offers pre-shopping, food and drinks, and a silent auction, according to the league.
  • Bring the family. Breakfast with Santa gives younger visitors a holiday outing of their own.
  • Try something new. Tiles & Tinsel, a mahjong gathering scheduled for the morning and early afternoon of Nov. 13, is new to the lineup.
