MARKETPLACE VENDORS
What Kind of Vendors are Accepted?
ARTS AND CRAFTS VS. LOCAL SERVICES
Vendor Licensing Requirements
A State TPT is required and you (The Vendor) are solely responsible for reporting your tax and income to the individual cities.
Each vendor will be assigned a ten-foot by ten-foot space, and power will be provided. You (Vendor) are required to bring your own 10X10 canopy tent.
Rules, Regulations and Guidelines
Please carefully and thoroughly read and review the LUA Holiday Marketplace Rules, Regulations, and Guidelines before submitting your application. All vendors must abide by ALL items listed on the document linked below. If your application is accepted and you do not abide by these rules, you will be asked to leave the holiday market and will not receive a refund for your vendor application.
Please complete the form below. A committee board member will contact you to discuss next steps and payment information.
Local Services: This year, we are allowing some area service-based businesses to have a presence at the festival. Located in their own space in the park, these vendors will follow the same guidelines as other marketplace vendors. Examples in this space could be local dentists, chiropractors, roofing, or banks.
Arts and Crafts: We are looking for unique, handmade items (especially holiday-themed) for our two primary marketplace locations: Marketplace Way and Santa’s Village (Kid/family focused). (Kid areas can be craft focused, toys/light ups/ornaments, etc.)
Items do not have to be 100% homemade but they must be original and customized in some way. We want to create a “boutique” market with unique items not found elsewhere. If you believe your items fit into this category but are not handmade, please e-mail kimberly@lightupahwatukee.org with pictures or social media links.
