The weekend kicks off with Preview Night (a ticketed event), where guests enjoy early-bird, first-dibs shopping alongside dessert-themed grazing tables, a Prairie Moon drink voucher, a market bag and raffle entries. The Holiday Market runs Saturday and Sunday featuring a cash bar with wine, sangria and craft beers, local food trucks and a family-friendly atmosphere. We’re proud to support the local nonprofit Friendship Ark, who will once again host their delicious Hot Cocoa Bar for free-will donations. This beloved Ames tradition showcases local makers, artists and vintage collectors 

*This year, Prairie Moon Winery has upgraded to fiber-optic internet for smoother WiFi and reliable connectivity throughout the venue.

Lucky Star’s very first market launched in 2013 at Prairie Moon Winery, and we’re thrilled to be back where it all began. Over the years, our market (which evolved into Beautiful Land Market for five years) has become a beloved local holiday tradition in Ames.
