QUEER HOLIDAY MARKET GUIDE

December 2, 2025

Vee Willard

Our very mary list of the city's many queer and queerish holiday markets

Why waste your queer dollars on gifts that are straight and mass-produced when you can pick up something unique and handmade WHILE ALSO supporting queer culture in our glorious gay city? To keep your gifts interesting, and to promote our city’s countless queer artists and creators, we have assembled this guide to all the queer holiday markets we could find this year.
