Why vend at A Dickens Holiday

The festival marketplace features artisan and food vendors spread across Downtown Fayetteville, drawing crowds throughout the day and into Dickens After Dark. The Friday after Thanksgiving is prime time for unique, local gifts — thousands come downtown to start their holiday shopping.

You pay a booth fee to Downtown Creative Works, bring your own goods, and keep your sales. Vendors provide their own setup and insurance; the application explains the requirements.

Vendor details

Vendors are placed in zones across downtown, including Hay Street, Maxwell Street, Franklin Street, and other assigned areas. Booth fees, application fees, and any returning-vendor pricing are listed with each Eventeny application.

Deck out your booth! Participating vendors' booths are judged on festive décor in our Vendor Decoration Contest.
