Become a Vendor
Every year from the end of November to the beginning of December, thousands of guests from near and far fill the streets of historic Old Town Rock Hill, SC, to attend the most anticipated and magical festival of the year…ChristmasVille. The festival has reached such popularity for many reasons, but the food and market vendors featured at our festival are at the top of the list. The festival would not be the success it is today without amazing vendors whose products. Here is your chance to make an impact on ChristmasVille 2025 and take advantage of the benefits that come with being a featured vendor.
Benefits of Being a ChristmasVille 2025 Vendor
Exposure to Thousands of Festival Goers
ChristmasVille attracts an abundance of local residents and out-of-town visitors/tourists looking for a fun-filled experience at Christmas time. With so much foot traffic, you have the opportunity to get your products in front of thousands of guests shopping for Christmas-themed art and various other items while attending the festival. Just imagine the amount of products you could sell and the revenue you could generate, making your time and presence at the festival worthwhile.
Stand Out in Your Category
We believe in providing our visitors with a diverse and exceptional experience. We have limited the number of vendors per category to maintain this standard. Signing up early increases your chances of securing a coveted spot and becoming a prominent vendor at ChristmasVille.
An Opportunity for More Business Outside the Festival
Being a featured vendor gives you a chance to connect with other vendors and gain loyal customers. Networking with other vendors in attendance can present future opportunities to showcase your products at other events. Also, the customers you gain from being a vendor at the festival may continue to purchase items from you in the future. You never know what could come out of being a ChristmasVille vendor. The possibilities are limitless.
A Chance to Brighten Up Someone’s Day
ChristmasVille is truly a magical festival. With lots of smiles and the anticipation of Christmas, imagine the impact you can have on festival-goers. Your vendor station could be what is needed to brighten someone’s day with holiday cheer. By setting up shop at our festival, you can do just that and make ChristmasVille even more magical.
