Must be time for the CHRISTMAS
COLLECTION. Fa-la-la-la-la.
50th Christmas Collection
DECEMBER 3 - 6, 2026
Since 1975, The Christmas Collection has been providing customers with a unique gift-filled holiday marketplace. The show is always held on the first weekend of December each year. It has a well-established and enthusiastic following, with over 25,000 people in attendance last year.
We showcase over 475 dynamic exhibitors, filling four adjoining exhibition buildings at the Richmond Raceway Complex. This facility is located in an historic 315-acre site and is a very popular venue with close proximity to interstate highways, and most importantly, acres and acres of convenient free parking.
