becoming a vendor

The Alaskan Christmas Bazaar, run by a team of dedicated volunteers, is a non-profit that benefits a chosen charity each year. It is a beloved community event that kicks off the holiday season.  Our team looks forward to working with our vendors in 2023!  

How Does the Application Process Work? Print the application, fill it out, and mail it in with your payment. All applications must be mailed with booth fees to the address on the application. (Our apologies, but we do not accept payments via credit card or payment apps at this time.) We deposit all payments when we receive them. Expect to receive information about the status of your application at the end of August!

The deadline for returning vendors to apply and be guaranteed a booth is APRIL 30. 

The bazaar planning team assigns booths in late August. Returning vendors are assigned booths first, provided they apply before the deadline of APRIL 30. 

We assign booths to new vendors according to the date applied.  If we do not have a booth space available for you, we will add you to the wait list and notify you via mail.  As we receive cancellations, we pull vendors from the wait list. If we do not have a booth space open up for you, then we mail a full refund the week after the event. 

We are not affiliated with ChangePoint; please do not submit your application to the church. 

 
How much does the booth cost? Our booths are $160 each. Electricity is available, additional $20. A table with chair is available for $20 as well. Note that we have a limited number of tables available for rent, and only a limited number of spaces within the church have electricity. 

What can be sold in a booth? All products must be handmade, and all products must be sold by the artist/crafter. Food, religious items, and items that make noise must be pre-approved by the bazaar staff. No items containing nudity or partial nudity, profanity, political content, offensive material, or anything deemed inappropriate by the bazaar staff may be sold, distributed or displayed. 

What size are the booths?  Each booth is 64 square feet at a minimum. Specific size of each booth is not determined until the Thursday before the event, due to occasional changes in the rooms that happen throughout the year.  

What is the Cancellation Policy?  Booth fees, less a $30 administration fee, are refundable up to 14 days prior to the date of the bazaar. All cancellations must be sent in writing via email to kay@alaskanchristmasbazaar.com. Cancellations requested less than 14 days prior to the date of the bazaar will not be issued a refund.

 Additional info and policies can be found on the application. The Bazaar Planning Team is always here to answer your questions! Please email us at kay@alaskanchristmasbazaar.com
