Two office buildings at 2500 and 2550 Paseo Verde Parkway are being turned into Green Valley's next place to eat, shop and catch live music. That work is under construction right now. Across Green Valley, The District at Green Valley Ranch starts its holiday season on Thursday, November 12. The Light the World Giving Machine goes up near Pottery Barn, and The Oak Room opens its Holly Jolly Holiday Bar.
The Cliff lists its delivery as 2027, so every tree lighting, makers market and Thanksgiving pickup on Green Valley's 2026 calendar happens at The District.
The Cliff is set to deliver in 2027
The Cliff is an adaptive reuse of two existing office buildings by VAC Development, working with CAST Capital Partners. Its gross leasable area is 91,565 square feet, and 56,136 square feet across 26 spaces were still listed as available. The project's own page lists delivery as 2027.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on September 30, 2026 that construction had started on the roughly $70 million project. The developers plan to start handing spaces over to tenants in the second quarter of 2027. In that same report, investor Benjy Garfinkle, part of the new ownership group, said the complex was 40 percent leased. Plans call for fitness studios, a home-lighting store, a taco shop, an ice cream parlor, a cafe, live music, comedy shows and outdoor programming.
News 3 Las Vegas reported on October 2 that Visual Comfort, Our House, The Taco Stand and Wine Girl are expected at The Cliff. If tenants start getting their spaces in the spring, the earliest the neighborhood could hold a holiday season there is late 2027. For this year, The District is where the season happens.
The first week sets up the rest of the season
Three things start this week, and each one runs for weeks.
- Light the World Giving Machine, November 12 through January 1, 2027, near Pottery Barn. Visitors pick items such as baby care essentials, health care products or school supplies for refugees to donate through nonprofit partners. The local partners this year are Baby's Bounty, EyeCare4Kids, The Just One Project, The Salvation Army of Southern Nevada and Tyler Robinson Foundation Inc.
- The Oak Room's Holly Jolly Holiday Bar, a seasonal pop-up from November 12 through December 27. The Oak Room also keeps hosting Trivia Tuesdays through December 29.
- The Thursday Farmers Market, now on winter hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Main Street. The November dates are the 12th and 19th. The December dates are the 3rd, 10th and 17th.
The Giving Machine stays up past New Year's, so you don't need to plan around it. The farmers market is the one to watch, because it moves to a midday window and runs only five more Thursdays this year.
November 21 is the night the season officially opens
The annual Tree Lighting is Saturday, November 21, from 5 to 8 p.m. The District's announcement lists festive snowfall, meet-and-greets with the Snow Prince, the Snow Princess and Snow Angels, live holiday music and sweet treats. Market in The Alley brings local artisans and makers to Main Street for the evening. Santa Claus closes the night by lighting the tree.
The tree lighting doubles as a makers market, so you can do some early gift shopping the same evening. That pattern of pairing a market with an event shows up again and again through December.
Three days later, Full Moon Yoga meets on The Green on Tuesday, November 24, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The class is free with registration, but space is limited, so bring a mat and water.
Thanksgiving week happens at the restaurants
The District's tenants are running their own holiday schedules during the week of November 23. Each one has a date you need to hit.
- Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que takes pre-orders for ready-to-heat Thanksgiving feasts through Tuesday, November 24. Pickups are Wednesday, November 25 and Thursday, November 26. If you pick up a pre-order of $75 or more on Wednesday, you get a $25 Bonus Card that's good from November 27, 2026 through January 31, 2027. Dine-in holiday reservations are also open.
- Me Gusta Tacos serves The Pilgrim Torta through November 30. It's carnitas, stuffing and cranberry mayo on a toasted torta bun.
- Crazy Pita offers an 8-Piece Family Rotisserie Dinner for $34.99 all November, for dine-in or takeout. It comes with rice, feta salad, hummus and pita.
- North Italia adds a $20 Bonus Card to every $100 gift card bought from November 1 through December 31, in the restaurant or online. The bonus card can be used January 1 through February 28.
The Lucille's Wednesday pickup carries the bonus card, so it's worth ordering for Wednesday rather than Thursday.
The weekend after Thanksgiving is built around Small Business Saturday. The Makers Hive Market sets up on The Green on Saturday, November 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's free, and the announcement describes it as family- and dog-friendly. Bloom, a boutique at The District, takes 20 percent off all clothing on Friday, November 27 and 20 percent off the whole store on Saturday, November 28. It's open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, and the discounts are in-store only.
December, date by date
After Thanksgiving there's an event nearly every week. The dated events on The District's events page run through December 19, and the two longer holiday offerings continue past it.
| Date | Event | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Thu., Dec. 3, 10 and 17 | Farmers Market on Main Street | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. |
| Sat., Dec. 5 | Second Time Around Vintage Market | 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. |
| Tue., Dec. 8 | Menorah Lighting Ceremony | 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. |
| Thu., Dec. 10 | Toys for Tots: Fill The Truck Campaign | 5 to 7 p.m. |
| Sat., Dec. 12 | Market in the Alley | 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. |
| Sun., Dec. 13 | Paint with Santa | 9 to 10:30 a.m. |
| Sat., Dec. 19 | Makers Hive Market | 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. |
| Through Dec. 27 | Holly Jolly Holiday Bar at The Oak Room | Bar hours |
| Through Jan. 1 | Light the World Giving Machine | Near Pottery Barn |
The shopping events fall on Saturdays from December 5 through December 19, and the Makers Hive Market on December 19 is the last market listed before Christmas. The two ways to give back land in the same week. You can drop toys at the Fill The Truck event on December 10, and the Giving Machine is open the whole time.
Like any event calendar, these dates can change, so check The District's page before you drive over.
The one night to leave the neighborhood
Henderson's citywide celebration is on Water Street. The City of Henderson lists WinterFest with a tree lighting and drone show at Water Street Plaza on Thursday, December 3, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The Electric Light Parade runs along Water Street on Friday, December 4, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Both are free. The city notes that schedules may change and that route and closure details were still to come.
The WinterFest tree lighting falls on the same Thursday as The District's December 3 farmers market, but the market ends at 2 p.m. and WinterFest starts at 5, so you can do both in one day.
If The Cliff starts handing spaces to tenants in the second quarter of 2027 as planned, Paseo Verde Parkway will add a second gathering place with live music, comedy and outdoor programming before next year's holidays.
Belen Clark follows what's opening and changing along Paseo Verde and Green Valley Parkway, because new projects like The Cliff change how a part of the neighborhood is used and valued.
