The festival has reached such popularity for many reasons, but the vendors featured at our Artisan and Craft Market are at the top of the list. The festival would not be the success it is today without amazing vendors whose products. Here is your chance to make an impact on ChristmasVille 2024 and take advantage of the benefits that come with being a featured vendor.

Exposure to Thousands of Festival Goers
ChristmasVille attracts an abundance of local residents and out-of-town visitors/tourists looking for a fun-filled experience at Christmas time. With so much foot traffic, you have the opportunity to get your products in front of thousands of guests shopping for Christmas-themed art and various other items while attending the festival. Just imagine the amount of products you could sell and the revenue you could generate, making your time and presence at the festival worthwhile.
Stand Out in Your Category
We believe in providing our visitors with a diverse and exceptional experience. We have limited the number of vendors per category to maintain this standard. Signing up early increases your chances of securing a coveted spot and becoming a prominent vendor at ChristmasVille.

Being a featured vendor gives you a chance to connect with other vendors and gain loyal customers. Networking with other vendors in attendance can present future opportunities to showcase your products at other events. Also, the customers you gain from being a vendor at the festival may continue to purchase items from you in the future. You never know what could come out of being a ChristmasVille vendor. The possibilities are limitless.
