Event Guide · December 2026
The Jaipur Jewellery Show (JJS) is the city's big December jewellery fair: trade visitors get in from 10 AM and the public from 1:30 PM. The 2026 show runs from 22 to 25 December at JECC in Sitapura, with more than 700 exhibitors across 1,200+ booths according to the organisers.
This page puts the dates and timings in one place, explains how the trade and public hours split, and covers getting to JECC from Malviya Nagar. We are a guest house about 16 minutes from the venue, so the part about rooms comes at the end.

Timings are from the official JJS website as of October 2026. Organisers can change them, so check the site again in the week before you travel.
The first three and a half hours of each show day belong to business visitors, which makes the morning the time for planned appointments and serious buying. Register as a trade visitor on the official website before the show, and check what proof of business it asks for. The Monday preview is by invitation only, so plan around it unless an exhibitor has invited you.
Public entry opens at 1:30 PM on every show day. Tuesday to Thursday give you the longest afternoons; on Christmas Day the show closes half an hour earlier, at 6:30 PM. Check the public registration details on the official site before you set out.
JECC is in the RIICO Industrial Area at Sitapura, south of the city. From our gate at Jawahar Circle, Google Maps routes it at 9.5 to 10 km via Tonk Road, about 16 minutes in light traffic. Allow longer in daytime traffic, and more if you are aiming for the 10 AM opening.
The show ends on 25 December, which is also when Jaipur's holiday season gets busiest. Demand for rooms peaks in the last week of the year, so book as soon as your dates are fixed, especially if you are bringing a team. If you also want to browse traditional jewellery, Johari Bazaar, the old jewellers' market in the Walled City, is worth an afternoon after the show.
Hotels at the venue are the closest option. If they are full or over your budget, we are a quiet base in Malviya Nagar about 16 minutes from JECC, with the airport 2 km away:
