2nd Annual Katy Community Expo Returns to the Merrill Center This Weekend
A family-friendly event celebrating local artisans and small businesses, expected to draw 10,000 attendees

Katy, TX (August 19, 2024) – The 2nd Annual Katy Community Expo, produced by Home for the Holidays Gift Market, will take place at the Merrill Center in Katy this Saturday and Sunday. Founded by Stacie Bowles Producer of Home For The Holidays Gift Market as a fundraiser for Katy Christian Chamber, this year’s event will feature over 150 craft, gift, and food vendors, drawing an anticipated attendance of 10,000 visitors throughout the weekend. The expo offers a unique opportunity for attendees to support local businesses while enjoying a fun and festive environment.

The Home for the Holidays Gift Market, known for its fall, winter, and autumn shows across Texas, kicks off its 2024 season with this community-focused event. Bowles, who started her entrepreneurial journey as a vendor herself, created the gift market to bring a higher quality and cost of events to the vendors she already connected with by utilizing her passion for local business. "This event is close to my heart because it brings our community together to celebrate and support local artisans and small businesses," said Bowles. "Seeing the joy, it brings to families and the success it offers to vendors makes all the hard work worthwhile."

The Katy Community Expo is more than just a market; it's a carefully orchestrated event that requires a large onsite team of staff members to execute so many moving parts. From set-up to tear-down, roles include ticketing, decorations, vendor relations, security, and food and refreshment coordination for staff and volunteers. Marketing, social media, PR and promotion, and signage are key elements that contribute to the event’s seamless execution.

The expo's success is not just measured by attendance, but also by the positive experiences shared by attendees and vendors alike. "Participating in the Community Expo has been a game-changer for our business," said one vendor. "The exposure and connections we make here are invaluable, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and family friendly."

The Katy Community Expo at the Merrill Center promises to deliver an engaging weekend for the entire family. From unique handmade crafts to delicious local treats, there’s something for everyone.
