Vendor Applications Open for Inaugural Bend Holiday Market

A new holiday shopping tradition is coming to Bend this December. Lay It Out Events is excited to announce the inaugural Bend Holiday Market, taking place Sunday, December 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Open Space Event Studios.

The Bend Holiday Market will bring together a curated collection of local and regional makers, artists and small businesses for a festive day of shopping and holiday cheer. Shoppers can browse unique, locally made gifts, discover new artists and businesses, enjoy seasonal treats and check a few names off their holiday shopping lists — all while supporting the creative community.

“We wanted to create a holiday event that really centers around shopping local and discovering the talented makers and small businesses we have here in Central Oregon,” said Megan Burton, Event Director at Lay It Out Events.

Vendor applications are open now. Organizers are seeking a diverse mix of makers, artists, craftspeople and small businesses offering products that make great holiday gifts. Applications will be reviewed to create a varied shopping experience for attendees.

The indoor setting at Open Space Event Studios offers shoppers a cozy destination to spend a December Sunday browsing, connecting with local businesses and getting into the holiday spirit without worrying about the winter weather.
