This would have been the second Nutcracker Spring Market. Nearly 160 vendors were lined up to travel to Houston for the Houston Ballet fundraiser.

If you already purchased early bird tickets to the event, you have three options:

  • Request a full refund.
  • Donate your payment to the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market.
  • Transfer the amount you paid for your Spring Nutcracker Market early bird ticket ($30) towards purchasing an early bird ticket to the Nutcracker Market November 12th -15th. Those tickets are $50. If you choose this option, you will be charged an additional $20 to cover the difference.

You have to choose one of these options by May 15 by emailing nutcrackermarket@houstonballet.org with your decision.
