Tips & Advice

  • Bring a new, unwrapped toy to drop off, since Toys for Tots donations are being accepted at the tree lighting.
  • Plan to eat there, because food trucks are on site alongside the vendor booths and the Midway ISD Christmas carolers.
  • Vendors should bring their own tables, chairs, tents and power, because none are provided and there's no wifi at Warren Park.
  • Vendors need to be set up, with cars in the general parking area, before the event starts, since vehicles can't use the front vendor gate after that.
  • Greater Hewitt Chamber members should log in before registering, since that's how they get member-only rates and options.
