USJ Holiday Mart

USJ's Holiday Mart, held on the weekend before Thanksgiving each year, features thousands of unique gift ideas for shoppers in a festive, holiday setting.

For 39 years, the University School of Jackson’s Holiday Mart has marked the beginning of the shopping season by bringing together the largest gathering of merchants in West Tennessee.

The 2010 Holiday Mart is November 19-21 at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in downtown Jackson.

Each year, our sponsors are important to the success of the Holiday Mart.
