Once Upon a Christmas at Cambridge

Welcome to the 2026 Once Upon a Christmas at Cambridge Arts, Crafts & Merchandise Vendor Application!

Once Upon a Christmas at Cambridge is designed to transform Cambridge Square into a festive holiday destination where the community can shop, dine, celebrate, discover small businesses, and make Christmas memories together.

We invite makers, artisans, boutiques, specialty retailers, creators, and merchandise vendors to apply to be part of this carefully curated Christmas marketplace.

A CURATED CHRISTMAS MARKET

Our goal is to create a diverse, high-quality shopping experience while giving participating businesses the strongest opportunity for success. Applications are reviewed based on event fit, product quality, category balance, product duplication, booth presentation, and available space.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Approved vendors will receive an official acceptance notification and additional event information.

CHRISTMAS MARKET BOOTH REQUIREMENTS

The visual experience of Once Upon a Christmas at Cambridge is an important part of the event. We want guests to feel immersed in Christmas from the moment they arrive, and every participating vendor helps create that atmosphere.

All vendor tents and canopies must be WHITE. Colored, branded, or other non-white tents/canopies will not be permitted.

Every vendor must decorate their booth in a Christmas theme. Vendors are encouraged to incorporate festive elements such as Christmas greenery, garland, bows, ornaments, lights, holiday signage, or other tasteful seasonal décor that complements their business and merchandise.

Booth presentation is a condition of participation. Vendors must arrive prepared to create a completed Christmas-themed display. Hearthara Culinary reserves the right to require adjustments to displays that do not meet event presentation standards.

HELP US GET TO KNOW YOUR BUSINESS

Please complete your application carefully and provide accurate information about your business and the products you intend to sell. Clear product and booth photos help our team evaluate applications, thoughtfully curate the marketplace, and identify opportunities to feature participating businesses in event marketing and storytelling.

We look forward to discovering your business and bringing together an incredible collection of small businesses, makers, and entrepreneurs for Christmas at Cambridge Square.
