About the application

ABOUT VIRGINIA HIGHLAND DISTRICT

The Virginia Highland District was created to design, develop, and implement strategies of community engagement and economic development. We have had great success with community events in the past, including our Porchfest that brought the neighborhood alive with tens of thousands of attendees. We have also created a summer series that includes Food Truck Fridays, along with Yoga in the Park and a weekly Farmers Market.

WINTERFEST HOLIDAY ARTS MARKET

On Saturday, December 9, Virginia Ave & Lanier Blvd will be closed to create the Winterfest Artist Market from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm -- a holiday gift fair with a German street market theme, including festive lights, music and drinks. It is free for the public to attend the market. There will also be a Tour of Lights, 2-mile Jingle Jog and holiday parade to complete the weekend.

Terms & Conditions

Rain or Shine - no refunds; only $50 refund provided for inclement weather if the entire event shuts down.
Once accepted, there is a $175 booth fee (plus 3% processing fee) for participation.
Vendors must have proof of insurance.
Vendors must use a white tent.
Vendors must adhere to load in/load out instructions.
$25 non-refundable application fee (plus 3% processing fee). Applications chosen by the following considerations:
- Our market has space for 55-65 vendors. We expect heavy foot traffic, and many vendors sell out by the end of the day.
- We want content that is unique (i.e. hand-made or custom made) and good quality.
  We use your online content to decide on whether it fits into the previous point, so being sure that you have good-quality images of your products on your website or/and social media is helpful.
- We consider a diversity of types of producers 1) to prevent saturation and ensure that vendors have a successful day and 2) so that shoppers have a variety of things to choose from. That means that if we have 10 people apply for the same type of good, such as candles, we can only accept two or so of those applicants.
- We use the ranking from the first qualification (quality/uniqueness), then defer to this secondary variable of making sure we have different types of goods. For this reason, we sometimes have to reject applicants that still look great.
- We always try to make sure that we"re accepting at least a good handful of vendors that we haven"t had before, to ensure that our market is unique each year, so it"s always worth applying again.
