This is a public announcement for all new/prospective vendors, and not intended for current/active vendors (if you are already an active vendor, check the restricted section of this vendor portal for direct access to the registration system).
Dates:
-
Weekend One: Knoxville, Dec 5-6, 2026
-
Weekends Two & Three: Chattanooga , Dec 12-13 & 19-20, 2026
We are now accepting applications from new prospective Holiday Market vendors. We have moved into new venue spaces/changed our layout to accommodate more vendor booths than in the past, so we’re hopeful that you will find a spot with us this season.
Weekend One (Dec 5-6) will be held in the modern Knoxville Convention Center; this will be the largest space of our holiday series. We were in the older World’s Fair last year, but this year will be in the new construction across the street – it’s pretty fancy. Vendor setup for this event is around $200 for the weekend, with 10% sales commission due daily.
Weekends Two and Three (Dec 12-13 & 19-20) will be held at the Chattanooga Convention Center, and is the longest running of our holiday series. We are in the same venue portion as the past, but we’ve reconfigured the layout (and removed the performance stage) to provide more access. Vendor setup for these two weekends is around $400, with 10% sales commission due daily.
New for 2026: you can select your own booth location, including a double booth if desired, during the registration process. There are a few premium spots, and a few discount spots - hunt around for what works best for you.
Setup for all weekends will be on the proceeding Friday, with assigned load times based on your chosen booth location. We will load-out every weekend after the close of the market each Sunday evening.
If you are a new prospective vendor, you can fill out this form to get the process started:
Note that we have a fairly detailed process – we strive to find unique, handcrafted products which meet all of the regulatory requirements (food & body care products have a lot of legal requirements). We also try not to have a massive of imbalance of products in any particular category – great photos and full descriptions are on the interest form are very helpful!
