Lucky Star Holiday Market

Lucky Star’s very first market launched in 2013 at Prairie Moon Winery, and we’re thrilled to be back where it all began! Over the years, our market (which evolved into Beautiful Land Market for five years) has become a beloved local holiday tradition.

We’ll kick off the weekend with Preview Night (a ticketed event), where guests enjoy early-bird, first-dibs shopping alongside dessert-themed grazing tables, a Prairie Moon drink voucher, a market bag, and raffle entries. Saturday and Sunday continue the festivities with local makers and collectors, food trucks, and a cash bar featuring mulled wine, sangria, and craft beers. We’re also proud to support the local nonprofit Friendship Ark, who will once again host their delicious Hot Cocoa Bar for free-will donations.

The Lucky Star Holiday Market is more than just a shopping event, it’s a joyful tradition that celebrates connection over consumerism, meaningful, intentionally chosen gifts, and the creativity of small-batch, local makers over big-box chaos.

Friday, Dec. 5 – Preview Night (6-9 p.m.)

Saturday, Dec. 6 – Market Day 1 (9 a.m.-4 p.m.)

Sunday, Dec. 7 – Market Day 2 (12-5 p.m.)

*This year, Prairie Moon Winery has upgraded to fiber-optic internet for smoother WiFi and reliable connectivity throughout the venue!
