About the Market

The Rozsa’s Home for the Holidays Gift Market is one of the Keweenaw Peninsula's most cherished seasonal traditions. Held annually on Small Business Saturday during Thanksgiving weekend, this vibrant event transforms the Rozsa lobby into a festive marketplace celebrating community and local craftsmanship. As a juried show, the market carefully selects its vendors to guarantee a diverse, high-quality assortment of unique goods. The market dates back to 1999, just before the Rozsa Center officially opened in 2000. The single-day market now regularly welcomes over 1,000 shoppers and families from across the Upper Peninsula.

About the Presenter

The Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts cultivates a vibrant and connected community through experiences that bring the Keweenaw together. Located on Michigan Technological University's campus in Houghton, Michigan, the 80,000-square-foot arts center's design is inspired by the inclined look of the local copper mine hoists and shaft houses inside and out. Event spaces include the Rozsa Lobby, James and Margaret Black Performance Hall, Rozsa Backstage, Rozsa Art Galleries, and McArdle Theatre.

As the largest theater in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Rozsa dramatically expands the region’s access to large-scale performing arts events including Broadway tours, ballet, cirque, music, and more.
