The Mistletoe Market has been canceled after the 2023 event.  From the event organizers, “With heartfelt gratitude, we’re bidding adieu to the Mistletoe Market. Your incredible support has made this event truly memorable. As we close this chapter, we’re eagerly anticipating our next exciting venture. Stay tuned for more amazing events from the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta ahead! Thank you for being a part of our journey.”

In years past, metro Atlanta shoppers could plan on getting an early start on their Holiday gift giving at the Annual Mistletoe Market hosted by the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta (JLCM). The JLCM’s Mistletoe Market was a shopping event that was held at the Cobb County Civic Center located at 548 South Marietta Parkway in Marietta, Georgia.  Shoppers could purchase holiday gifts from booths offering clothing, candles, specialty food items, art, home decor and much more.

More than 50 merchants from across the Southeast offered a premiere holiday shopping experience that featured locally created, premium goods including the latest trends in apparel, jewelry, children’s clothing and gifts, home and garden accents, gourmet food products and culinary treats, specialty gift items, and holiday apparel and accessories.

As the largest fundraiser for the JCLM, Mistletoe Market was a wonderful opportunity to shop for high quality items while helping fund community projects supported by the JLCM. Each year, the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta’s financial impact was more than $200,000 through annual grants and volunteer hours being given to various community projects and agencies in Cobb County including Cobb County Safety Village, The Center for Family Resources, SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, The Center for Children and Young Adults, Communities in Schools, Omosaze, Inc., and the Cobb County Youth Museum.
