The Greenville Convention Center has been producing Holiday Fair for 55 years, one of the most successful holiday markets in the Southeast drawing more than 375 vendors from around the country. Local artisans and crafters are featured alongside purveyors of gifts for everyone on the shopping list.

"Combining Kringle Village and Holiday Fair is a big win for our community, Matt Hollander, General Manager of the Greenville Convention Center said. "Working together, these two organizations will create a true holiday extravaganza that will build on the traditions of the past while offering new elements that create memories for the future."

Organizers are focused on the "AND" of this combined event. The thousands of holiday shoppers who have been coming to Holiday Fair for many years can now bring the whole family to enjoy festive food, games and entertainment. The thousands of families that have been entertained at Kringle Village will now be able to stroll through 375 vendors at the Holiday Fair.
