Tips & Advice

  • Bring the kids along, since children 12 and under get in free while adults pay admission at the door.
  • Give yourself time to browse, because the marketplace fills every usable inch of the Carlson Center with thousands of gift options.
  • Vendors should register early, because booth space usually sells out quickly, and anyone registering after October 1 has to pay in full when signing up.
  • Vendors may want to bring their own tables and chairs, since the ones at the arena are first come, first served.
  • Vendors must keep displays up until the show closes on Sunday and finish move-out that night, so line up help for teardown.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Favorite booths return this year alongside new products and gift ideas.
