Tivoli Village Nutcracker Night Markets, A Holiday Tradition
As December unfolds, Tivoli Village transforms into a shimmering holiday destination just 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Nestled off Summerlin Parkway in one of Southern Nevada’s most affluent communities, this 370,000-square-foot lifestyle center blends cobblestone charm with contemporary flair. Twinkling lights wrap around every corner, storefront windows glow with seasonal displays, and the scent of fresh pine and festive treats fills the air. Every moment here feels like a celebration, from dancing in the Piazza to gathering with loved ones for exclusive events that turn ordinary evenings into cherished memories.
On December 4, 11, and 18, Tivoli Village will host its Nutcracker Night Market, turning Thursday evenings into magical experiences. From 4 PM to 8 PM, the Piazza comes alive with festive holiday lights, live entertainment, and rows of artisan vendors with LV Craft Shows offering original and unique crafts. Guests can expect enchanting performances, holiday music, and even complimentary horse-drawn carriage rides, creating a picture-perfect seasonal atmosphere that feels straight out of a storybook.
The Nutcracker Night Market is more than just shopping, they’re an immersive holiday celebration. Visitors can browse handcrafted jewelry, ceramics, candles, and festive décor from local artisans, discovering special pieces you won’t find anywhere else in Las Vegas. Live entertainment fills the air with holiday cheer, featuring carolers, dancers, and appearances by beloved Nutcracker characters that delight guests of all ages. Families, couples, and friends are welcome to enjoy Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides through the beautifully lit Tivoli Village, making these evenings a must for creating lasting holiday memories and capturing festive photos.
Beyond the Nutcracker Night Market, Tivoli Village’s enchanting Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides are available December 4–6, 11–13, and 18-20, every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday leading up to Christmas from 4 PM to 8 PM, located near the Piazza. Experience the magic of the season as a beautiful horse whisks you and your loved ones away on a festive journey through Tivoli Village during the heart of the holidays. The soft clip-clop of hooves, sparkling lights overhead, and cozy blankets create an intimate, charming experience perfect for date nights, family outings, or a special surprise for visiting friends. Carriage rides are complimentary and first-come, first-served, and guests are encouraged to arrive early as lines fill up fast.
Giving back is also at the heart of the holidays at Tivoli Village. Now through Wednesday, Dec. 31, Tivoli will participate in Wish Across the Valley in partnership with Make-A-Wish® Nevada. This heartfelt initiative brings together participating tenants, including Jeff White Custom Jewelry, Inscriptagraphs and Scissors & Scotch, all helping to spread the magic of the season. Guests can purchase paper stars in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, or more, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish® Nevada to grant life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses in the community. Each star represents hope, joy and the power of a wish, proudly displayed throughout participating businesses as a shining symbol of generosity and compassion this holiday season.
As guests stroll through the property, they’ll see these paper stars decorating windows and countertops, creating a visual reminder of how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Families can make it a tradition to choose a star together, talk with children about the importance of giving, and leave knowing they’ve helped bring a wish to life. Whether you’re visiting for the markets, the carriage rides, or a dinner out, Wish Across the Valley offers an easy and meaningful way to give back while enjoying the spirit of the season.
Tivoli Village is home to a curated mix of retailers, from luxury brands to one-of-a-kind boutiques anchored by Restoration Hardware’s RH Las Vegas. For holiday gifting, men can find tailored suits at Stitched, while women can shop elegant dresses at Vasari or David Tupaz American Couture.

Guests can easily turn a simple shopping trip into a full evening experience, exploring each cobblestone walkway and discovering new favorites around every corner.
