What to expect
This is a big indoor shopping show, with booths of seasonal décor, clothing, toys and food to browse at your own pace. Santa makes appearances at the show. Some sessions are set aside for particular crowds: an early VIP morning with a shopping tote and vendor deals, an early bird window, and evening Girls Night Out sessions. There is also a free day for military, veterans and first responders.
Why go
It puts a lot of holiday gift shopping under one roof, so you can cross off several names in one trip. The early sessions suit people who like a thinner crowd. The venue is a draw too. First Financial Center reopened in 2026 after a $264 million rebuild, and it sits at Fifth and Elm in the middle of downtown Cincinnati, near restaurants and hotels.
