Running out of time for holiday shopping? Don’t panic – the Waterfront Holiday Market is here to save the day! This beloved EpicCentral tradition has become one of the district’s most popular events, drawing thousands of visitors to the beautiful waterfront setting for an enchanting evening of shopping and celebration.
Last-Minute Gift Paradise
Browse a carefully curated selection of vendors offering unique gifts and stocking stuffers you won’t find at the mall. From handcrafted jewelry and local artisan goods to specialty treats and one-of-a-kind treasures, you’ll find the perfect presents for everyone on your list – even those hard-to-shop-for people.
A Shopping Experience Like No Other
The magic isn’t just in the merchandise – it’s in the setting. Shop along EpicCentral’s stunning waterfront as the sun sets and the holiday lights begin to twinkle. The festive atmosphere, combined with the scenic views, transforms last-minute shopping from a stressful chore into a delightful evening out.
Why It’s So Popular
Year after year, thousands of visitors flock to the Waterfront Holiday Market because it offers something special: the convenience of finding great gifts in one beautiful location, the charm of supporting local vendors and artisans, and the joy of shopping in a festive, pressure-free environment. It’s become a can’t-miss tradition for many DFW families.
Perfect Timing
With just days before Christmas, the December 20th date is ideal for picking up those final gifts, grabbing extra stocking stuffers, or finding something special you didn’t know you needed. Plus, with evening hours from 6-10 PM, you can stop by after work or make it a relaxed evening outing.
Make It a Full Evening
Combine your market visit with dinner at one of EpicCentral’s waterfront restaurants, catch the Illuvia light show at 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, or 10 PM, and soak in the complete holiday experience along the water.
