Crafters-an opportunity to sell your goods at Ingles JingleFest!

October 21, 2014

Are you looking for a way to sell your handcrafted items?  Looking for a way to make a little extra spending money before the Holidays?  2014 JingleFest, sponsored by Ingles, is adding a craft market to the many things to do after the Asheville Holiday Parade.  

We all know that the Parade kicks off the Holiday Season in Asheville and the added fun of JingleFest following the parade is just one more way for the family to enjoy being together.  The last several years JingleFest has been held in the chilly outdoors at Pack Square but this year JingleFest will be taking place at the USCellular Center where families can enjoy the fun no matter what the weather is like.  Last year in the cold, cold weather over 2000 people attended JingleFest so 2014 promises even more families.

This would be a great opportunity for you to show your handmade arts and crafts. Vendors must sell handmade items including arts and crafts, packaged foods, soaps, ornaments, wreaths, jewelry and other gift items.  This is a large family event so you should keep a low price point in mind.  The cost is only $50 for a 10 foot space ($10 additional if you want to rent a table).

The date for 2014 JingleFest is November 22, from noon to 5pm.  Applications can be found by clicking here and are due on Friday, October 24. 

To find out more information about being part of this market and get your handmade crafts out in front of thousands of folks click here to go to the website, email info@ashevilledowntown.org or call 828-251-9973.  The Parade and JingleFest are produced by the Asheville Downtown Association.
