This holiday season, Downtown Fresno is bringing back its temporary Ice Rink, and we’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new Vendor Village to enhance the experience! Running throughout the Ice Rink season, the Vendor Village will feature a rotating selection of local food and snack vendors, showcasing the diverse offerings of our community. 

We"re seeking a variety of vendors to join us in creating a festive atmosphere filled with delicious treats. Whether you specialize in hot cocoa, gourmet snacks, artisanal foods, or other unique offerings, we invite you to apply and become part of this exciting seasonal event. The Vendor Village will be located around the ice rink, giving you prime visibility and a chance to engage with the hundreds of families, skaters, and holiday shoppers who visit the rink each day.

This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your brand, connect with the community, and be part of Downtown Fresno"s magical winter wonderland!
