The holiday season is returning to Dallas, and with it comes one of the city’s most beloved traditions: the 49th annual Chi Omega Christmas Market, taking place November 19-22, 2026, at the Dallas Market Center’s World Trade Center on the 11th Floor.

While the four-day Market is known for bringing together thousands of shoppers and more than 250 merchants from across the country, its impact reaches far beyond holiday shopping. Each year, proceeds from the Chi Omega Christmas Market help support local nonprofit organizations and collegiate scholarships, creating an opportunity for the Dallas community to shop, celebrate and give back.

Supporting Organizations Making a Difference in Dallas

The 2026 Chi Omega Christmas Market will benefit nine local nonprofit organizations serving children, families, older adults and the broader North Texas community:

Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center works to improve the lives of children impacted by abuse through coordinated services, advocacy and support.

Dallas Theater Center brings the community together through live theater, education and arts programming, helping make the arts accessible to audiences throughout Dallas.

Equest uses equine-assisted services and therapeutic horsemanship to empower individuals with diverse needs and create opportunities for growth and connection.

Family Gateway helps families experiencing homelessness move toward stability by providing housing and connecting families with essential resources and support.

Juliette Fowler Communities serves children, families and older adults through programs designed to foster connection, care and community across generations.

Make-A-Wish North Texas grants wishes for children with critical illnesses, creating moments of hope, joy and lasting memories for children and their families.

Readers2Leaders helps Dallas children build strong literacy skills and develop a love of reading, providing a foundation for future educational success.

The Senior Source supports older adults throughout Dallas through programs, resources and services that promote healthy, engaged and meaningful lives.

Vickery Trading Co. provides women facing barriers to employment with opportunities to develop skills, gain experience and work toward greater economic independence.

Together, these organizations represent the breadth of needs within the Dallas community and the many ways local organizations are working to create a stronger future.

A Holiday Tradition With a Community Impact

The Chi Omega Christmas Market has long been a holiday shopping destination, but its mission goes beyond the Market floor. The event brings merchants, shoppers, sponsors, volunteers and community partners together in support of causes that directly impact North Texas.

This year also marks an exciting new chapter for the Market as it moves to the Dallas Market Center’s World Trade Center (11th Floor) and returns to its traditional November timeframe.

Shoppers can browse a curated selection of holiday gifts, home décor, fashion, jewelry, gourmet goods, original art, entertaining essentials and more, with merchants traveling from across the country to participate. Santa and other special guests will also make appearances throughout the Market, adding to the holiday atmosphere.
