Important Update: November & December 2026 Event Format Change

 

Dear Valued Vendors,

 

We want to inform you about a significant change regarding our Holiday events in November and December 2026. After careful consideration, we have decided to omit the heated tents for these months due to the rising costs associated with maintaining them. 

 

Due to the rising costs of the tents, an increase in booth fees to $550 per tent vendor was necessary to make this setup feasible for 2026. However, we believe this price would be too high for our vendors to be profitable.

 

To ensure that our valued community can still enjoy these beloved holiday events, we have opted to change the format to a one-day pop-up event. This new format aims to create the vibrant atmosphere that you have come to love where vendors can showcase their products effectively, while keeping costs manageable for everyone involved.

 

We appreciate your understanding and support as we adapt to these changes. Our goal is to continue providing a fantastic experience for all participants, and we are excited about this new direction.

 

Thank you for your interest in our events and we hope to work with you soon.
