Holiday shopping is more enjoyable when you can meet the people who made the gifts. Simi Valley's seasonal boutiques and craft fairs bring together local makers, small businesses, community groups, and neighbors looking for something a little different.

From handmade jewelry and holiday décor to art and specialty treats, here are the events worth adding to your calendar.

This is a growing guide for November and December 2026. We will update it as new dates are confirmed. Event details can change, so follow the organizer links before heading out.

More seasonal shopping to watch

We are continuing to watch for additional school bazaars, church boutiques and neighborhood holiday markets through December. We'll add dates when we can identify reliable event information.

Holiday shipping reminder: Hanukkah and Christmas 2026

Shopping for someone who lives out of town? Remember that Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, December 4. If a gift needs to arrive before the first night, plan to get it there by Thursday, December 3. Give standard shipping plenty of extra time, especially around Thanksgiving.

For Christmas, USPS recommends sending Ground Advantage and First-Class Mail by December 17, Priority Mail by December 18, and Priority Mail Express by December 19 for expected delivery before December 25 in the lower 48 states. UPS and FedEx deadlines vary by service and destination.

Our 2026 Holiday Shipping Deadlines Guide includes the full carrier-by-carrier dates, earlier Hanukkah planning targets, and direct links to USPS, UPS and FedEx for confirmation.
