The Junior League of Cobb-Marietta (“JLCM” or  “The League”) will host its 29th annual Mistletoe  Market, a premier two-night philanthropic shopping event to help raise funds for the JLCM, from November 9 through November 11 at the  Cobb County Civic Center in Marietta. The JLCM is a nonprofit organization which serves women and children in Cobb County by advancing social activism-focused projects that benefit the local community. More than 60 local vendors will participate in this year’s charity holiday event.  

“The League is excited to welcome back our many returning merchants and to be able to continue to grow the number of merchants year after year in support of our local community,” said Cristin Kennedy, JLCM’s 2023-24 VP of Fund Development. “This event is not only our League’s largest and most impactful fundraiser, but it’s a wonderful time to highlight local artists and small businesses. It most definitely is a win win event.”  

 JLCM’s Mistletoe Market, which has been a holiday tradition in Cobb County, metro Atlanta, and across the Southeast for almost 30 years now will feature locally created, premium goods, and shoppers  will have access to personalized gifts, holiday décor,  jewelry and much more.  

Tickets for the event’s special Premier Night  and Market Days, which will be sold separately, are  available at jlcm.org. Premier Night tickets are $25, and Market Days tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at  the door. Dates and hours of operation listed below: 

  • Premiere Night: Thursday, November 9, 6-9pm 
  • Mistletoe Market Days:  Friday, November 10, 9am-6pm and  Saturday, November 11, 9am-4pm 

Premiere Night access allows guests to be the first  to shop our merchants. The first 100 guests will receive  an exclusive shopping bag and all can enjoy light  bites, beverages, and entertainment.  

“Mistletoe Market is not just a reason to have  fun while shopping for you or your loved ones,” said  Tammy Thorpe, 2023-24 JLCM President. “It’s an event  that truly makes a difference in our community. The  public’s support of the market allows JLCM to meet  the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.”  

Proceeds from the 2022 Mistletoe Market helped  JLCM supply kits containing household essentials and  file organizers to teens in foster care who graduated in  Spring of 2023, which positively impacted 15 deserving  students. The League also provided period products to  Cobb County women and girls in public schools and  local community partners, as more than one in four  women struggle to purchase period products due to lack  of income according to the Alliance for Period Supplies.  

The Junior League of Cobb-Marietta will continue  to accept merchant applications for this year’s  market. Interested artisans and businesses can email  MistletoeMarket@jlcm.org for more information.
