Winter Lights 2024 Vendor Application & Payment 

Our annual Holiday Observatory Lighting will take place Sunday, December 8, 2024, from 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. at the Patterson Park Observatory. We typically have approximately 2,500 people at this event, browsing the Winter Lights market and watching holiday entertainment prior to the lighting of the Observatory at 6 p.m. Craft vendor fee is $50; Food vendor fee is $80. If you cannot bring your own table, you can rent one from us for $25.

Please note:

  • Not all applications will be accepted as this is a juried event and space is limited. Our strong preference is for locally-made products or Baltimore-based businesses. (No multi-level marketing vendors will be accepted for this event (i.e. Scentsy)). If your application is not accepted, a full refund will be issued.

  • Spot does not include table, chairs or electricity. We have a limited number of tables that may be rented from us for a fee.

  • Depending on the number of vendors, a 10’ x 10’ or 10’ x 15’ tent will be provided. We will confirm this with you closer to the event date.

  • Rudimentary tent lighting will be provided, but you will need to bring additional battery-operated lighting.

  • If you plan to bring a generator, you MUST clear it with us. If approved, please note your tent will be located in an area designated for generator use.

  • Day of set up must be completed by 3:30 p.m. (but you are welcome to set up early, and begin to vend as early as 3pm!). We will allow cars into the park for drop off, but all cars must be out of event area by 3:30 pm, and are not allowed back into the area until 6:50 pm.

  • Any questions, please email winterlights@pattersonpark.com or call (410-276-3676).
