Want to know one thing that’s not canceled this year? Holiday cheer! And the Junior League of Birmingham (JLB) is bringing a sleigh full of it during their first-ever virtual Market Noel. Shop safely from over 50 vendors and virtually attend some new, and exciting events throughout the week when you purchase a ticket to the market happening Tuesday, November 17 through Sunday, November 22.
How does the virtual Market Noel work? 🎁
No need to go full-on Scrooge just because Market Noel doesn’t look quite like years’ past. When you buy a $15 General Admission ticket, you’ll receive access to the Market Noel Virtual Marketplace.
From Tuesday, November 17 through Sunday, November 22, browse for presents (or yourself!) from over 50 nationwide vendors. Whether it’s home goods, food, clothing kids’ toys or accessories for your friends and family, Market Noel checks everything off on your Christmas list.
Plus, with a single checkout system, the virtual marketplace allows you to avoid long lines, overcrowding in malls and resting Grinch face while shopping for those you love this season.
“Market Noel is a favorite holiday event in Birmingham each year, so we were determined to make the event happen this year no matter what.
It’s been a great chance to be creative! We’re excited about the virtual marketplace platform we’ve built, as well as all of the events that will be taking place throughout the week, and are encouraging everyone to shop the magic and support the community this year.”

Tis’ the season to give back at Market Noel
Santa is a pro at multitasking and Market Noel provides the perfect opportunity for you to be one as well. Fill that shopping cart and give back to the community with each ticket you purchase.
Proceeds from the event go directly toward Birmingham nonprofits and vital local organizations by supporting the JLB’s 40 community projects. Just take a look at the stats from what last year’s market accomplished:
🌟 Over $218,000 raised for community projects that help fight food insecurity, fund education and support women and children in Birmingham.
🌟 The JLB Diaper Bank made 84 packs of diapers available to moms in need.
🌟 Meals on Wheels delivered 84 meals to elderly persons in Jefferson County.
🌟Over 84 provisional members received leadership training through the JLB’s annual provisional retreat.
