Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: Shoppers are encouraged to donate $2 for admission.
  • Hours: Show: 5-9pm; vendor check-in: from 3pm.
  • Parking: Vendors are asked to park away from the entrance after unloading so other vendors can unload.

Tips & Advice

  • If you're a vendor renting a table, request it on your application, because tables can't be rented on the night of the show.
  • Vendors should bring their own table coverings and any extra chairs, since only one chair per booth space is provided.
  • Vendors who plan to take cards can use the gymnasium's WiFi or bring a mobile hotspot to process transactions.
  • Apply early to sell, because the 110 spaces go first-come, first-served and only one representative per company is accepted.
  • Shoppers are encouraged to give an admission donation to the show, which supports the Bartlett Parks Foundation.
