Apply now to be a vendor at the EDCJCC’s Chanukah Holiday Market!

Vendor applications are due by Wednesday, December 4, at 5:00 PM. Please carefully read all of the information below to learn more about the Chanukah Holiday Market and vendor responsibilities. You are accepted to participate as a vendor once you have filled out the form and paid the $45 vendor booth fee.

Note that this application is only for vendors and not for general admission to the Holiday Market.

The Chanukah Holiday Market, taking place this year on Wednesday, December 11, is presented by EntryPointDC, the Edlavitch DC Jewish Community Center’s program for young professionals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. The Holiday Market is open to attendees of all ages.

This is our 7th year hosting the holiday market and we typically have 350 people attend. All vendors that attend our event will have their website link featured in our newsletter that goes out to 5,000+ young professionals and the event will be promoted in our main newsletter that will go out to the entire community of 40,000.

If the vendor fee is prohibitive to your participation, if you would like to lead an additional craft class at the event, or if you have any additional questions, please reach out to Stacy, Director of EntryPointDC, at smiller@edcjcc.org.

Chanukah Holiday Market Vendor Policies:

COVID-19 Policy: Mask-wearing inside of the EDCJCC is not required but you are welcome to wear one.
Requirements For Booths: Booths should consist of at least 50% hand crafted items or food. Those with handcrafted items will have first priority in filling spaces. We encourage hand crafted items related to themes of Chanukah, Judaica, and Jewish holidays but this is not required. Handcrafted items should be no more than 15% Christmas related. We reserve the right to not accept booth applications that do not fit our holiday market aesthetic and will be in touch if this is the case.
Food Vendors: Please bring Kosher-friendly items – i.e., no shellfish or pork and no meat products unless Kosher
Exhibitors/Vendors Responsibilities: We will be providing one 6-foot rectangular table and 2 chairs per vendor. Please let us know in your application if you need any additional space. Please provide your own: props, signs, electrical power strips, electrical cords, payment systems, set up and take down. If you want to bring your own tables or set-up, please indicate this in your application.
Set-up and take-down: You may set up from 5:15 to 6:30 PM on the night of the event. If you need to bring something to the venue before this time please contact Stacy at smiller@edcjcc.org. Please check in when you arrive to receive your space assignment. Take down will start at 8:30 PM on the night of the event. No exceptions. We are trying to make this craft market the best in the area and it affects all the other vendors if one or two are taking down and packing up early. The patrons think the event is over if they see people packing up their things.
