Our Vendors
Rules and Deadlines
The vendor tent does currently have availability for 2023. Application requests will be considered on an individual basis and do not ensure entry into the show. When filling out the application information please include your name, address, phone number, and as much information as you can regarding your product category including arts, crafts, food, game, etc. The more detail the better. The fee and other requirements for vendor space inside the tent and outside food trucks are the same.
EXCLUSIVITY
The last day Concession Vendor Applications will be accepted is September 1, 2023, if space is still available, however, this event is an exclusive event. If someone has already been approved to sell a product judged to be similar to your product, the application may be denied or possibly you may be asked to remove the one product from your list of products and the rest of your list could be approved. Please provide a complete list of products you wish to sell in your booth and they will be reviewed and approved on an individual basis. If your product(s) are selected then you will be the exclusive provider of that category of food, scented item, clothing, or craft once we have received your vendor fee. We will have multiple food vendors but the category of food will be exclusive. The event organizer's decisions are final and we reserve the right to make decisions regarding how similar products are or not.
FEE
The event runs for approximately 5 weeks from November 23rd until December 31st. The fee to be a vendor at Christmastime in Texas during our 2022 season is just $900 for the entire run of the event. The amount of the event fee will be evaluated on a yearly basis and may or may not change from year to year. The fee for the 5 weeks in 2023 is just $900 and will NOT be adjusted this year. Your reserved place as a vendor will not be confirmed until the simple application at the bottom of this page is completed, submitted, and approved, and then a nonrefundable $300 deposit is received and processed to hold your spot. The balance of the fee, $600, is due on September 1, 2023, in order for you to continue to hold your space at the event. Space is held on a first come first serve basis. If another similar vendor completes all of the requirements ahead of you then they will be considered the exclusive vendor for that line of products. If you have ever experienced how difficult it can be to get into an event then you know that there is no better time to apply to become an exclusive vendor than right now. We have limited space available and our approved vendor partners will be given the first opportunity to return in subsequent years. We do reserve the right to revoke this privilege and the privilege of a vendor being onsite during the event if event rules are not followed. In the rare event that a vendor is asked to leave by the event organizers then their event fees will be forfeited. If a vendor withdraws from the event or is a “no-show”, the event fee will not be refunded. - Fees are non-refundable.
