Junior League of Lafayette’s Tinsel & Treasures holiday market returns to the CAJUNDOME Convention Center
Tickets for Acadiana’s largest holiday shopping market are on sale now!
Junior League of Lafayette’s annual Tinsel & Treasures holiday market returns to the CAJUNDOME Convention Center September 23-25. We will be following State and local mandates in regards to COVID-19 to ensure the safest possible shopping experience.
The Market was held virtually in 2020 and because of its success, Junior League of Lafayette will host its online holiday market again September 27-October 3.
“Tinsel & Treasures is a one-stop shopping experience and a great opportunity to get your early holiday shopping done, all while benefiting the community” said Angela Navarre, 2021 Tinsel & Treasures Chair. “We are excited to be back at the CAJUNDOME Convention Center this year and hope to have another successful market that our merchants and shoppers will enjoy.”
Market vendors include local favorites, as well as merchants from across the country. More than 100 boutique-like shops include jewelry, food, gifts, toys, home décor, and apparel.
“We are proud to offer Tinsel & Treasures to our community in-person and online as one way to help give back to the Lafayette area.” Navarre said. “The funding allows us to provide financial support for Junior League of Lafayette and its Mission to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women, and improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.”
