There are two kinds of Christmas shoppers.

From church bazaars filled with handmade treasures to local vendor markets, Christmas parades, family photo opportunities, and personalized gifts, the 2026 holiday season offers plenty of reasons to celebrate close to home.

And for the dedicated procrastinators?

Why Shop at Local Christmas Bazaars in Yakima?

There’s something special about walking into a local holiday bazaar.

You aren’t just looking at products.

You’re meeting the person who created them.

You might discover handmade Christmas decorations, unique gifts, personalized keepsakes, homemade treats, or something you didn’t even know you needed.

More importantly, you’re supporting people in your own community.

When you shop at a Yakima Valley holiday bazaar, your purchase can help a small business owner buy supplies, grow their business, support their family, or continue doing something they love.

When you shop local, your Christmas shopping becomes part of someone else’s Christmas story.

And that is worth celebrating.

November 7: Yakima Valley Christmas Bazaar Shopping Begins

The first Saturday in November brings several opportunities to start Christmas shopping.

Harman Center Holiday Bazaar

Saturday, November 7, 2026

101 N. 65th Avenue, Yakima, Washington

The Harman Center Holiday Bazaar is a familiar community shopping event offering an opportunity to browse gifts and meet local vendors.

Holly Jolly Christmas Bazaar in Selah

Saturday, November 7, 2026

Our Lady of Lourdes, Mel Allen Hall, 1111 W. Fremont Street, Selah

Other November 7 Events

The UMC Annual Winter Bazaar in Prosser and the Christmas Barn Sale in Yakima are also listed among early-November shopping opportunities.

For families looking for an enjoyable day out, consider visiting more than one market.

November 14: A Busy Weekend for Christmas Craft Fairs

If you enjoy browsing handmade gifts and local markets, November 14 is an especially good day to explore the Yakima Valley.

Scheduled events include:

The Market at Meadowbrook, Yakima
Fall Crafter’s Bazaar at Central Lutheran, Yakima
Homespun Crafters Bazaar, West Valley
Hope For The Nations Christmas Bazaar, Toppenish
Floral Station Holiday Market, Naches
Ellensburg Holiday Market

The Market at Meadowbrook, located at 7200 W. Nob Hill Boulevard in Yakima, offers an indoor shopping experience featuring a variety of local vendors.

Community bazaars, church markets, and craft fairs are also excellent places to discover smaller businesses that may not have traditional storefronts.

November 20–21: Holy Family Holiday Bazaar

The Holy Family Holiday Bazaar is another established Yakima holiday shopping tradition.

Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21, 2026

Holy Family Church and School, Yakima

This event brings together local crafters and vendors for seasonal shopping.

If you’re looking for handmade Christmas gifts, decorative items, or unique presents, this is another market to consider.

Additional November 21 shopping opportunities include the Wesley United Methodist Church Holiday Craft Fair and Naches Valley PTSA Holiday Bazaar.

November 28: Support Yakima Small Businesses on Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday is a reminder that where we spend our money matters.

When you purchase from a local maker, artist, crafter, or small business, you’re supporting someone who lives and works in the community.

You don’t have to purchase every Christmas gift locally to make a difference.

Start with one.

Then tell someone where you found it.

That simple recommendation can help another customer discover a business they might otherwise never have known existed.

December Holiday Bazaars in Yakima

By December, Christmas shopping takes on an entirely different personality.

The decorations are up.

Procrastinators, We Have Made a Way for You to Do You!

They probably have backup wrapping paper.

And then there are those of us who believe shopping is more exciting when there’s a little pressure.

At Peach Tree Retirement Center, we’re not here to judge.

We’re here to give procrastinators a shopping destination.

Join us for the Pop-Up Peach Procrastination Bazaar, a festive mini holiday shopping event featuring a small, selected group of local vendors.
