Holiday shopping gets an early start in Ocala when the fourth annual Ocala Holiday Craft Show returns to World Equestrian Center November 13–15.

Organizers advertise more than 350 artisans and crafters, with offerings including jewelry, artwork, home décor and handmade goods.

The show takes place inside Expo Center 1, 1284 NW 87th Court Road, making it an indoor option for a weekend outing.

Friday’s regular shopping hours are noon to 4 p.m., following a separately ticketed preview from 10 a.m. to noon.

Saturday runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The ticket choice matters if you plan to return: advance general admission is $10 and covers all three days, while a $10 box-office ticket covers one day.

Children 12 and younger enter free, and parking is free.

The Friday preview is advertised at $17 in advance or $22 at the box office, with weekend admission included.

Santa and Grinch visits are also scheduled during the event, ading a family photo opportunity to the shopping trip.

Check the organizer’s current character schedule and ticket options before leaving home.

A little advance planning leaves more time to compare booths, browse handmade gifts and enjoy the show at your own pace.
