Grand Central is getting festive with the return of its beloved Holiday Fair, opening for the season on Monday, November 11th.
This exciting tradition will uplift 36 local vendors and small businesses for an unmissable holiday shopping destination for the season.
The entire Holiday Fair will run for six weeks only (November 11th – December 24th), seven days a week, so you’ll have just until Christmas Eve to get something for everyone on your list.
New to the fair this year will be a highly-anticipated Uncommon Goods holiday pop-up located on the bridge next to the main concourse. Also new to the Holiday Fair will be an exclusive Grand Central merchandise collection. Shoppers will be able to peruse various Grand Central terminal-branded Yeti tumblers, Baggu totes, luggage tags, playing cards and more.
“Grand Central is already a world-class travel and dining destination, but with the Holiday Fair, New Yorkers and visitors alike can celebrate the season with homegrown vendors selling merchandise that is as unique as Grand Central itself,” said Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi. “It’s a joy to see these storied halls come to life with holiday cheer.”
Of course, Holiday Fair classics like the NY Transit Museum train show will once again spring to life. Admire an adorable replica of Grand Central as a collection of the museum’s model trains will chug through the miniature city en route to the North Pole. Note that the train show will not run for the same duration of the Holiday Fair, but between Thursday, November 14th through February 2025.
Other Grand Central Holiday Fair favorites like the Thanksgiving Market will grant New Yorkers a chance to pick-up delicious seasonal items to bring to their Thanksgiving dinner. The Thanksgiving market will only be open on Wednesday, November 27th in the Biltmore Room from 10 am – 6 pm.
