River of Time Museum & Exploration Center’s Annual Holiday Mart!

Holiday Mart 2026 is Here!

Kick off the holiday season at the River of Time Museum & Exploration Center's beloved annual Holiday Mart, returning November 18 through December 19, 2026, and bigger than ever!
Discover a festive shopping experience filled with beautiful vintage treasures, unique holiday décor, collectibles, ornaments, wreaths, tabletop decorations, specialty gifts, and one-of-a-kind seasonal finds. 

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Fountain Hills community, Our dedicated Holiday Mart volunteers, affectionately known as our Holiday Mart elves, spend the year collecting, cleaning, and restoring thousands of donated holiday decorations, giving them new life for families to enjoy again.
Browse the market as it fills the shared library conference room, lobby, winds through the museum, and extends onto the patio.

Whether you're searching for a rare vintage collectible, adding to your holiday décor, or looking for a unique gift, you'll find something special while supporting a great cause.

Every purchase directly supports the River of Time Museum & Exploration Center's mission to engage, entertain, educate, and inspire visitors through the history, culture, and natural heritage of the Lower Verde River Valley.
