Participating in the PA Christmas Show has become the highlight of our entire Holiday selling season.
Come prepared to be a part of a very busy and very organized show. The staff is always available to answer a question and to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Our customers come to this event year after year and have one goal in mind and that is to spend money and complete their holiday gift list.
Make certain that when they come to your booth, you greet them with a friendly smile and a booth full of amazing merchandise that is not only displayed beautifully but also priced reasonably. When your customers leave your booth happy they will come back to see you year after year!
First-Time Vendors
Welcome to Marketplace Events. We want to do everything we can to help our first-time vendors be successful so you can reap the benefits of live face-to-face shopping events for years to come! We know that participating can be daunting in the first year and that it takes three shows to fully perfect your display and sales strategy, so we have created this resource page to help accelerate the learning process.

RENEWALS
HOW DOES OUR RENEWAL PROGRAM WORK?
Incredibly, on average 42% of our booked vendors will sign their contract for next year before they leave the 2026 show! Our longtime vendors know the value of face-to-face shopping events in driving a high volume of sales during the holiday season! They renew onsite to secure the best booth at the best price.

WHY RENEW EARLY?
We offer three payment options including a monthly plan so you can secure your spot with just 10% down.
You receive the best price when you renew onsite. Typically, renewal discounts expire, and prices increase the Friday after the Show.
Not sure if you want the same spot? No problem - If you want to move or upgrade, check the box on your renewal application that reads “Contact me to move or upgrade my space.” Vendors are contacted in the order contracts are received, so you will have early access to new booth locations.
We will hold your booth space until Friday after the Show, after that, the floor is open so your space will be released into inventory for other vendors.
Our holiday shows often cap certain categories or even sell out of space early! Book early to guarantee your spot!
