Winterfest

2026 Winterfest Vendor Application

Returning vendor applications are reviewed first, followed by new vendor applications. Please note that we currently have a large waitlist for new vendors. The waitlist is organized by category, and openings are filled as spots become available.

For example, if a soap vendor leaves Winterfest, that space opens up for the next vendor on the waitlist in the soap category. Priority may be given either to a unique vendor offering something not currently represented, or to another vendor within the same category.

If you have any questions, please contact us at winterfest@bloomsburgfair.com
