Summerville Main Street Accepting Vendor Applications For 2026 Santa Special Mistletoe Market

Summerville Main Street is now accepting vendor applications for the 2026 Summerville Santa Special Mistletoe Market, a holiday shopping event that coincides with the popular Santa Special train excursions later this year.

The market will feature five train excursions on Saturdays and four excursions on Sundays, providing vendors with an opportunity to reach thousands of holiday shoppers visiting downtown Summerville. Indoor booth spaces are limited and will be filled through a juried application process.

Interested vendors must submit an application by September 25. There is no application fee to be considered. Indoor booth spaces are 10-by-8 feet for $85 per weekend, while outdoor spaces are 12-by-12 feet for $70 per weekend or $35 per day.

Indoor vendors are required to commit to the full two-day weekend. Outdoor vendors may apply for individual event days if space is available.

Applications and additional information are available by emailing slocklear@summervillega.org.
