The Johnston House Holiday Emporium

The Johnston House Holiday Emporium
November 5, 6, 12, and 13th
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Johnston House Foundation fundraising event of the year is the annual Holiday House. Although funds are raised through grant writing this is the big focus.

This is a great event for touring the wonderful pioneer home of the Johnston family and a great place to shop for holiday gifts. The Holiday Emporium takes place the first two weekends in November each year.

The Holiday Emporium is filled with decorated Christmas trees in every room, wonderful holiday wreaths, gourmet food, hand-crafted jewelry and arts and crafts by many local and regional artists as well as merchandise from Half Moon Bay stores and boutiques.

There is a self-guided tour of the house for visitors to take advantage of as they shop. Signs are posted in each room near the doorway. It’s a wonderful way to learn about this extraordinary house while shopping for holiday gifts.

All proceeds benefit The Johnston House Foundation.

Admission & Parking are free. Park in the lot below the house or on Higgins Purisima Road. A shuttle bus takes attendees from the parking lot to the house and back again, usually with their arms full of presents for the holidays.

The Johnston House is located just south of the City of Half Moon Bay on the east side of Highway 1 at Higgins-Purisima Road. From Highway 101 or Interstate 280 take Highway 92 west to the coast and turn left on Main Street or Highway 1 to approximately 1 mile to Higgins-Purisima.
