Exhibitors/Vendors

Thank you for joining us for Christmas in the Boro 2026!
December 11, 2026 at 5:00pm Downtown Statesboro.

This year’s theme is “Winter Wonderland,” and we’re looking forward to another special day of bringing our community together for the Christmas season.

Our street vendors are an important part of the day, giving families and visitors a chance to shop, enjoy local favorites, and spend time together as they take in all that Christmas in the Boro has to offer.

Whether you’re sharing handmade goods, local treats, gifts, or something of your own, we’re glad to have you be part of this hometown tradition.

Once you have been approved you will be invoiced for booth fees. (no online payments)
