Marketplace Events creates vibrant expositions connecting enthusiasts with experts, products and services. We produce consumer home shows and holiday shopping shows, for details and to purchase tickets to a show in your area, visit our show calendar.

We enjoy sharing our love of all things home and garden! Everyone is welcome to gather tips--then see it all in person by attending one of our shows for even more of the latest trends in home and garden. While at our shows, you can meet and learn from celebrity designers, shop, compare and save with our trusted exhibitors. Building up to the holiday season, we also share seasonal tips on decorating, entertaining, and other festive fun!

Holi-DIY Ornament Contest

To help the Marketplace Events office get in the holiday spirit, we challenged our team members to a friendly DIY competition. Employees from every department, all across the US and Canada, were invited to try their hand at making a cute, original, and fun ornament. There were no restrictions on size, style, or influence. Everyone was encouraged to be as creative as possible, with just over a month to make their entry.
