Bismarck Event Center Hosts Junkin’ CuZins Market Oct. 24

Junkin' Cuzins, the fall holiday market event that has become a Bismarck tradition, is set to return for its 9th year to the Bismarck Event Center (315 S. 5th St.) Saturday, October 24th. It's the place to shop more than 100 vendors selling handmade, upcycled items, and one-of-a-kind finds from some of North Dakota's most unique boutiques.

Whether you're shopping for fall decor or getting a jump start on Christmas gifts, it's an easy way to shop local North Dakota makers under one roof.

What To Know This Year

• Hours: 10 am to 5 pm
• Admission: $5 at the door, 12 and under free
• Kidz Zone: There's going to be a dedicated kids area with kid vendor booths and kid-friendly activities.
• There will be a shop and drop-off area, so you don't have to lug around your items; you can walk hands-free.
• There will be food trucks and live music, because nothing makes a shopping experience better than a little mood music, and something good to eat and drink.
• Reindeer and Alpacas- yes, you read that right - there will be live reindeer and alpacas at the event. What makes an early Christmas shopping trip more magical? Oh, yeah, live reindeer.

This is a fun event many of us look forward to every year, and the best part is that no matter what the weather throws at us that day, it won't matter because it's all indoors. If you can't make it to this Junkin' Cuzins event, the website lists another one coming to Dickinson, North Dakota, in June 2027.
