Join our Merry & Bright Market
December 20-21, 2025
After our sale is over, we will fill the building with fabulous, talented, creative artists, makers, bakers, and more! Preference given to hand crafters and artists who make things, but others are welcome to apply and round out the room. Our goal is to assemble an array of offerings so we'll have something to appeal to every shopper who enters our indoor market.
Over the last weekend of November and first days of December we are hosting an ONLINE sale where people can shop from home and the sellers will only need to drop off the items that sold. Buyers will come a little over a week later to pick up the items they purchased and shop our in person sale too.
Our goal for hosting a Holiday Market is to showcase the hidden talents of artists and makers in Hillsboro and all across the greater metro area (whoever is drawn to join us) and to help you sell your creations to a broader audience. Maybe you have an online store and that's great but there's something about being able to see and touch and smell certain things that appeals to people and makes them want to buy things. We believe people WANT to buy things from artists and makers, either to give as gifts or keep for themselves. We also believe it has to be easy or they will default to a big box store or online shopping with free delivery to their home. So we will assemble as many artists, as we can accommodate in our space and invite EVERYONE from the community to come in and SHOP.
On our social media outlets we will be promoting the concept of shopping local, supporting local artists, and buying things from your neighbors and makers instead of Amazon or a faceless company. Anyone is welcome to apply, however, we will only be accepting one vendor per category (except jewelry and bakers since there is such diversity in medium and style we will allow several of those and space them out accordingly), so if you are interested please get your application in ASAP.
Promote Yourself and Your Business
Typically we only have space for a small number of vendors at our consignment sales. One goal of this event is to give a platform to MORE makers and artists! And because we already have a huge audience of people who will shop our online sale, we decided to bring our shoppers together one more time this year and help you promote your business too!
Our marketing opportunities include:
→ Your BOOTH where you can meet people face to face
→ Your products will be featured on our Facebook and Instagram (we do a live video on Saturday)
At our Holiday Market you may display your products however you wish (as long as it is done safely and does not impede on anyone else's space). A map will be at the Greeter station near the entrance and the Greeter will help anyone looking for a particular type of item to find that item.
We are seeking to assemble a fantastic collection of unique holiday gifts and create a memorable event shoppers will look forward to year after year. Many of us WANT to give homemade gifts with a story. Set up your booth, tell your story, and connect with people. This is our 5th year and we are hearing from lots of talented people that they are looking for vending opportunities, so we could fill up. Please apply early if you want a spot.
