For 10 years, The Nutcracker Market has offered shoppers an original, festive and charitable holiday shopping experience, bringing together near a hundred exhibitors under one roof.
Over the years, the event has drawn over 600 exhibitors and more than 600,000 visitors. Most importantly, it has raised over $1 million for The Nutcracker Fund for children, making it possible each year to invite 2,800 sick and underprivileged children to a free performance of the famous ballet and for 1,500 of them to take part in educational workshops, all while contributing to the refresh of the show’s sets and costumes.
We are extremely grateful for the confidence placed in us by our exhibitors, the loyalty of our visitors and the support we have received over the years from our 40 partners and sponsors. We would also like to thank the Palais des congrès for the 10 years hosting our event in their commercial mall.
We regret to announce that The Nutcracker Market will not be returning. However, we invite you to stay in touch with Les Grands Ballets and to continue to attend our next events!
" Thanks to the Nutcracker Fund for Children, the magic of this charitable shopping experience really comes to life! Imagine: just by purchasing your gifts from local merchants and giving them to your loved ones, you can give children in need a chance to experience an unforgettable day of culture! Pure bliss! "
