For 42 years, A Shopping SPREE! has been more than a shopping event—it’s a Raleigh tradition.

From November 20–22, 2026, the Junior League of Raleigh will once again transform the Raleigh Convention Center into a vibrant holiday marketplace featuring more than 100 carefully curated merchants from across the country and thousands of shoppers eager to discover unique gifts while supporting a great cause.

What started as a small fundraiser in 1985 has grown into one of the Triangle’s most anticipated holiday events. Today, A Shopping SPREE! welcomes thousands of patrons each year and serves as the Junior League of Raleigh’s largest annual fundraiser.

Every ticket purchased, every booth visited, and every gift bought helps support the Junior League of Raleigh’s mission to develop women leaders and improve our community through meaningful volunteer service and community impact initiatives.

The Gift of Impact

When you shop SPREE!, you’re doing more than checking names off your holiday gift list. You’re helping fund programs, partnerships, and community investments that strengthen Wake County and create lasting change for women, children, and families.

That’s why we call it The Gift of Impact.
