REPOST: Calling Artisan Craft and Food vendors!
The Maria Stein Retreat Center will host its first-ever outdoor Christmas Market. The two-day event will take place on Friday, December 11 and 12, and is expected to attract attendees from far and wide, giving you the opportunity to reach a large audience!
The committee is seeking a select variety of artisan craft and food vendors to make this a magical outdoor festival for Christmas shoppers. Vendor entries will be selected by the Maria Stein Christkindlmarkt committee to ensure variety, quality, and originality.
A limited number of German-style Christmas booths will be available. Each booth has an interior space of 7’ x 10’ and comes with overhead light and power outlets. Please ask for more details if you are interested. No space reservation fees - they have been waived for the first year!
If you are interested in being a vendor at our first Christkindlmarkt, please visit our website,

to download the form and submit your application. The deadline is July 31, 2026, and space is limited.

Something special is coming to Mercer County…✨

The air will glow a little warmer.
The nights will feel a little brighter.
And the heart of the community will come alive in a way you won’t want to miss.

Think twinkling lights, the scent of the season, sounds of peaceful bliss, and moments worth gathering for.

Stay tuned!
