Help us make the season a little brighter for the Lakes of Windermere community!

The MelaMarkets, in collaboration with the Lakes of Windermere HOA, is bringing the community together for The Merry Market, a holiday celebration featuring pictures with Santa, local vendors, festive treats, and seasonal fun.

We're seeking sponsors to help cover the cost of Santa, a photographer for holiday pictures, free cookies and hot chocolate for attendees, and the supplies needed to make the experience memorable. We're also working toward making our S'mores kits free for guests to enjoy. Contributions will help cover the cost of tabletop s'mores makers, ingredients, and other event supplies.

Every contribution helps us create a more memorable and accessible holiday experience for local families.

Sponsor Recognition
As a thank-you for your support, sponsors will receive:

Live recognition:

A shout-out from our DJ during The Merry Market.
Personalized social media recognition: A dedicated sponsor post on Facebook and Instagram from both The MelaDen and Seraphyne’s Events.

Complimentary vendor space: Sponsors contributing $100 or more may also receive a free vendor space, subject to availability, event suitability, and organizer approval.

Whether you're a local business, community organization, or individual who wants to give back, your support helps bring holiday cheer to our community.

Thank you for considering becoming a sponsor of The Merry Market. Together, we can help families make memories, enjoy seasonal treats, and connect with local businesses!
