October’s Urbana First Fridays Map!
Mistletoe Market Applications Open!
Our committee is looking for locally-made, unique goods that inspire a bit of giddiness in our guests: Modern (yet timeless), creative (yet focused) & carefully crafted goods made with the buyer’s delight in mind.
The committee will curate a diverse range of products and styles so that each guest leaves with something he/she/they adore(s) (even if it lasts just a few bites!). We prefer artisans, makers, crafters, artists, designers, growers, bakers, inventors who treat their creations as more than just a hobby. We do not require anything seasonally themed, but we suggest having a few options in mind. We are open to home goods, clothing, 3D & 2D art, textiles, wellness products, edible treats, children’s goods, toys, games, jewelry, literature, music, and more!
We will be accepting 25-30 vendors. We are excited to review your application and see your wonderful work!
Applications close on Sunday, Oct 8. Vendors will be announced Oct 15th.
Vendors will have a 10x10ft space at the Civic Center and be provided two 6ft tables. Vendors will be able to set up as early as 1pm on December 1st.
There is a $50 vendor fee which includes a $10 application fee. Your application will not be reviewed until receipt of the full vendor fee. If you are not chosen for the market this year, we will refund you $40 as soon as vendors are announced on Oct 15th.
