Merry Market & Howliday Lights

Kick off the holiday season with a brand-new Ken-Caryl Ranch tradition! Merry Market & Howliday Lights brings together holiday shopping, family fun, festive four-legged friends, and a magical tree lighting—all in one joyful day at the Ranch House.

🎁 Merry Market | 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Start your holiday shopping at our festive holiday bazaar featuring local makers, crafters, and vendors with unique gifts and goodies. Grab a bite from our food trucks, stroll through the market, and enjoy the holiday atmosphere throughout the day.

🎄 Family Fun Begins at 2:30 p.m.

The afternoon is when the holiday magic really begins! Bring the whole family for festive activities, including an inflatable and special appearances by the Grinch and Max starting at 2:30 p.m.

And the Grinch needs your help! Bring a homemade ornament from home for the Grinch to hang on the holiday tree. Ornament-hanging opportunities will be available on a first-come, first-served basis during:

• 2:30–3:00 p.m.
• 3:15–4:00 p.m.

Ornament requirements: Please make sure ornaments are weatherproof, durable, and non-breakable. Ornaments must not contain any small pieces, loose parts, or decorations that could fall off.

🐾 Howliday Dog Parade | 4:15 p.m.

Calling all festive pups! Dress your four-legged family members in their holiday best and join our Howliday Dog Parade at 4:15 p.m. Costumes are encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and prizes will be awarded for:

🏆 Most Festive
😂 Funniest
🎨 Best Homemade Costume

Bring your camera and your holiday spirit—because after the parade, the Grinch and Max will be available for photos with families and their furry friends!

✨ Tree Lighting | Around 5:00 p.m.

We’ll wrap up this festive day with a special holiday tree lighting at dusk, bringing everyone together to celebrate the start of the holiday season.

Whether you’re looking for unique gifts, a fun afternoon with the family, a chance to show off your holiday-loving pup, or simply a little holiday magic, Merry Market & Howliday Lights has something for everyone.
