The DASH Holiday Market. 

Houston, you can knock out all of your holiday shopping and support small businesses over the next two weekends.

After its fall edition was postponed because of the pandemic, the biannual DASH Market is back and right in time for the holiday season. And as an extra special present, we get a chance to shop the home décor and gift market twice.

To Kick Things Off

On Saturday, the Design-Art-Style-Home market is hosting a pop-up event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at CityPlace Plaza in Spring. Munch on croissants and sip cider from Common Bond and Island Grill as you wander through the decked-out booths of more than 20 local and nationwide vendors.

Be sure to snap a selfie in front of the 35-foot-tall Christmas tree plopped in the middle of the pond at CityPlace’s waterfront plaza. Or pretend you live in the brand-new gingerbread village, which includes a 16-foot-tall gingerbread house.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec 5. Free. CityPlace Plaza, 1200 Lake Plaza Dr, Spring.

The Main Event

The main DASH Market is taking over Silver Street Studios the weekend of December 10–13. With more than 130 vendors selling homemade goods like custom jewelry, bags, candles, ceramics, and goodies, you’ll walk away with all of your shopping done … for this year and maybe next. 

Look for small businesses like Wimberly Inc from Round Top, Pajama Princess from Austin, and Houston’s own denim-jacket-bedazzling duo Two Tequila Sisters. Other vendors include Paris Texas Apparel Co., Two Little Byrds, KB Design HTX, and Bug in a Box. 

While you shop, enjoy the musical stylings of Disco Santa. And don’t miss the C.A.M.O. pet adoption event happening from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday–Sunday.

Get early access and some great deals at the FIRST DASH Preview Party from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. December 10. Cocktails will be provided by The Warehouse Bar, and there will be light bites from Picnic on the Green, Relish Restaurant and Bar, and Island Grill. Preview Party tickets cost $35 but will get you admission all weekend.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Dec 11–13. $10. Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards St.

A native Austinite, Catherine Wendlandt spent almost six years in the Midwest for college and graduate school at the University of Missouri (MIZ). While there, she talked about Texas and missed queso so much she had to come back.  In school, she worked as a city government reporter and page designer for the Columbia Missourian, a communications intern at a local jazz company, a food editor and later the managing editor at Vox Magazine, and a research assistant for the Association of Health Care Journalists. She's worked in Missouri, Dallas, and Barcelona, Spain, and interned for Houstonia in 2018, when she fell in love with everything about the city, except maybe the traffic and mosquitos.  When she's not at work, you can find Catherine curled up reading a good book, out exploring local parks, taking lots of sunset pictures, and trying to pet every dog she sees (in spite of the allergies).
