The Junior League of Monroe is proud to present its 28th Annual Spring Market, returning to the Monroe Civic Center March 19–21, 2026. What began nearly three decades ago as a fundraising event has grown into one of North Louisiana’s most anticipated shopping traditions. More than just a market, Spring Market is a vibrant celebration of community, philanthropy, and the power of shopping with purpose.
As the League’s largest annual fundraiser, Spring Market plays a vital role in supporting the organization’s mission of advancing the well-being of women and children throughout Ouachita Parish and the surrounding areas. Every ticket purchased and every item bought helps fund impactful community programs, volunteer initiatives, and partnerships that strengthen the region. When guests attend Spring Market, they are not only enjoying a weekend of fun and fashion, they are directly contributing to meaningful local change.
This three-day shopping extravaganza brings together hundreds of carefully curated vendors from across the mid-South and beyond. Shoppers can explore an exciting mix of boutique clothing, jewelry, home décor, gourmet food items, children’s apparel and gifts, handmade goods, original art, plants, and specialty products you won’t find in big-box stores. Whether refreshing your wardrobe for spring, redecorating your home, shopping for Easter baskets, or searching for the perfect graduation or wedding gift, Spring Market truly offers something for everyone.
The festivities kick off on Thursday, March 19, with the elegant Preview Party from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. This year’s theme, a Bridgerton-inspired Garden Party, sets the tone for a charming and elevated evening. Guests will enjoy early access to vendors in a beautifully styled atmosphere complete with live entertainment, a catered meal, door prizes, and a string quartet performing modern favorites. Preview Party tickets are $40 and include three drink tickets. For those seeking an enhanced experience, a limited number of VIP tables for eight are available for $500. VIP guests will enjoy champagne, a charcuterie board, and additional drink tickets! Perfect for hosting friends, coworkers, or clients for a memorable night out.
On Friday, March 20, General Admission shopping begins at 10:00 a.m. and continues until 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $15. It’s the ideal opportunity to spend the day browsing, discovering unique finds, and supporting small businesses from both local and national vendors.
Friday evening brings the always-popular Market-Rita Madness from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. This lively event blends shopping with entertainment for a high-energy girls’ night out. For $35, guests will enjoy three drink tickets, delicious food from Iron Cactus, live entertainment by DJ Worm, and plenty of chances to win exciting door prizes throughout the evening. Market-Rita Madness has become a fan favorite for its festive atmosphere, upbeat music, and margarita-inspired fun.
The market concludes on Saturday, March 21, with General Admission shopping from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Included in the General Admission ticket, Spring Fling kicks off at 10:00. Bring the kids for a fun filled family day including the Easter Bunny, other kid friendly activities, and of course shopping! It’s the final chance to browse vendors, snag those must-have items, and soak in the energy of this beloved community tradition. At 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, the winner of the Kandi Cruiser Golf Cart raffle will be announced. Raffle tickets are available for just $10, offering attendees the opportunity to win a fun and functional prize while further supporting the League’s mission.
What truly sets Spring Market apart is its purpose. Funds raised from the event directly sustain and expand the Junior League of Monroe’s community projects and programs. Through volunteer service, strategic partnerships, and dedicated fundraising efforts like Spring Market, the League continues to address critical needs and create lasting impact throughout the region.
For nearly 28 years, Spring Market has brought together friends, families, and neighbors for a weekend filled with style, celebration, and service. It is a time when the community gathers not only to shop, but to support something larger than themselves. The Junior League of Monroe invites everyone to save the date, purchase tickets, and join in this meaningful tradition.
Tickets can be purchased in advance on our website (https://monroe.jl.org/) or at our office located at 2811 Cameron Street, Monroe, LA. Tickets may also be purchased at the door.
