Houston Ballet is excited to announce the 30th Annual Nutcracker Market November 11-14, 2010 at Reliant Center. The Market will be open from 10 a.m - 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Theme for 2010: Holiday Under the Big Top.

In 1981, visions of sugar plums inspired long-time Houston Ballet supporter Preston Frazier to approach the board members of Houston Ballet with a new way to raise needed funds for the Houston Ballet Foundation, its academy and scholarship programs. His dream of a holiday market in the tradition of European or Latin American street markets has grown steadily and spectacularly from humble beginnings in a church-bazaar setting to a four-day shopping extravaganza at Reliant Center.

Featured at this year’s Market are over 323 national and international merchants carefully selected for their unique offerings — including many new merchants — selling gifts for the entire family — home décor, gourmet food, garden, clothing, sporting gifts, novelties, accessories and more.

All proceeds from the Market benefit Houston Ballet Foundation, Houston Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy and its scholarship funds.
