Second Annual Holiday Extravaganza!
|
The City of Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency is gearing up to begin filling vendor spaces for our Second Annual Holiday Extravaganza Holiday Pop Up Market! This year we are looking for up to three businesses to set up shop from Nov. 30 thru Dec. 22, 2019 at our Second Century Studios location at 331 Cleveland Street, Clearwater, FL. There is no cost to participate.
We are looking for vendors that have items that are giftable, grab and go, handmade, versatile, or varied (jewelry, clothing, candles, signs, art, plants, etc.).
There is no cost to be a vendor. While the CRA can help with some marketing through our channels, vendors will have to promote and market their businesses and help to bring new customers to Downtown Clearwater. Vendors will also be responsible for staffing their spaces and their own payment processing.
If you are interested in applying to be a vendor, please fill out the form below:
The deadline for applications is Monday, September 16, 2019. Applications will be reviewed and vendors will be selected and notified by Friday, September 27, 2019. If you have any questions, please contact Tarin Mohajeri, program coordinator for Second Century Studios, at
