Craft & Vendor Fair
Event Details: Applications are now live!
Where
We’re excited to announce our annual Winterfest craft fair and vendor show on February 7th, 2026! We invite crafters and vendors to apply, but please note that participation will not be on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, applications will be evaluated based on product originality, quality, and alignment with our community-focused theme. There are only 20 booths available, and we received close to 100 applications last year. We encourage prompt submissions as we aim to create a diverse and engaging experience for attendees. Thank you for your interest! We will be collecting applications until December 21st, 2025 and then will let you know if your application has been selected via email by December 23rd, 2025.
