After a beautiful and successful 2022 edition we are inviting local artisan vendors for the 2023 Swannanoa Winterfest.

What is Winterfest? The Swannanoa Winterfest is a Winter Holiday Market for the whole family. It is a joyful, cozy and festive outdoor event with holiday items, various foods and drinks, artisans, kids activities, music, a trolley-ride and more!

The event will start in the afternoon an partly will take place into the evening. Fire and lights are an important ingredient to share that special holiday feeling!

Date & Time: Sunday Dec 17th. The market will be open from 2pm-6:30 pm. Vendors can begin setting up at 1pm

Large Pole Tent 80 x 40: Unless you want to stand on the food court area we have something new this year! To make set up easy for our vendors and also be protected against weather circumstances, we have decided to set up a large 80x40 event tent with side walls, festive lightning, heaters, etc. We will also have our regular open-air 40x20 tent. For these tents we have 30 indoor places available. Only bring your own table & chairs for a 10ft spot.

The food trucks will be set up on the basketball court.

Costs and registration: As costs has increased with the lease of the event tent the fee for a vendor booth will be $50 for this year. After your confirmation by email we will send you a registration form.

Promotion: We are promoting the event on social media, on the Grovemont Park website, and on local media outlets. We encourage all vendors to share the event with their social and professional networks as well. We will set up a 2023 Facebook event that you can share and invite others (here is an example of the 2021 event: https://www.facebook.com/events/444546843744575)
