PORTLAND, ME — Portland Downtown is seeking vendors to participate in the Downtown Winter Market, an outdoor artisan market coinciding with the annual Monument Square Tree Lighting – Presented by Hood Eggnog.

The market will take place from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on November 24, 2023, and will be an excellent opportunity for vendors to showcase their handmade items during the holiday season. Vendors will be set up along City Line Drive, just off of Monument Square, where the annual tree lighting ceremony will be happening that very same day.

“This year’s tree lighting ceremony won’t just be about lighting up the downtown, but also a chance for local vendors to shine. This event, which attracts thousands annually, is a perfect venue for our local vendors to showcase their goods and add to the cheerful atmosphere,” said Portland Downtown Marketing and Events Manager McKenzie Delisle.

Interested vendors can apply online at portlandmaine.com/winter-artisan-market. There is no vendor fee to apply or participate. The deadline for applications is November 1.
