VENDOR INFORMATION FOR THE 1 DAY SATURDAY ONLY OUTDOOR MARKET

NOVEMBER 8, 2025

CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, DOWNTON TEMPLE, TX

  1. The St. Nicholas Market at Christ Episcopal Church in Downtown Temple, TX, is an annual arts and craft show that has expanded TO ALLOW FOR OUTDOOR VENDORS ON ONE DAY ONLY, Saturday, November 8th, in the Church Courtyard, the Church’s front lawn facing Main Street, and the fenced in Church lot across the street on the corner of Downs and Main Street. Vendor space in the Church Courtyard is assigned space whereas all other outdoor spaces are “first come, first served.”  Assigned spaces are reserved for returning vendors from last year’s one day Saturday only Market. VENDORF APPLICATIONS FOR OUTDOOR SPACES WILL BE ACCEPTED STARTING JUNE 15, 2025, AND CONTINUE UNTIL ALL AVAILABLE SPACES ARE FILLED.
  2. All spaces are 10x10 and the cost is $50 regardless of outside location. Payment is due no later than 10 calendar days after notification of acceptance by the Christ Episcopal Church St Nicholas Market Committee (the Committee).  Failure to pay within 10 calendars will result in your application being placed “on hold” and may result in the loss of the space if all spaces are filled once you submit payment.  Payments are non refundable.
  3. Except for live animals, Outdoor Vendors may sell any type of item. Items for sales may be manufactured, pre purchased, direct sales or "fair trade" items. The sale of homemade food items is prohibited unless the item comes prewrapped, canned or bottled and clearly labeled.  Please do not use generic contents or ingredients on the labels.   Be specific as to what ingredients are in the item.  Vendors are encouraged to have samples of their food items, however.  Vendors selling food items must comply with all state and "cottage home bakery" regulations.
  4. The Vendor agrees to conform to all State of Texas as well as local rules and regulations governing taxes, “farmer’s markets,” and craft shows, as well as those specific to the items they are selling, such as those governing the Cottage food industry.  Each Vendor is responsible for their own sales.  We encourage each Vendor to take credit card sales, but it is not required.
  5. Electricity or a power supply will not be provided.
  6. Outdoor Vendor set up will be on Saturday morning, November 7 at any time.  All booths shall be set up by 8:30AM Saturday morning.
  7. Vendors may unload displays and inventory in front of the Church along the curb parking on Main Street. After unloading, all Vendors must park in the Cadence Bank parking lot, which is on the corner of West Downs and 1st Street, next door to the North end of the Church.  The first row closest to the Bank is reserved for Bank employees, but Vendors can park in any of the other spaces.  No Vendor can park in any location other than the Cadence Bank parking lot on Saturday during the Market unless you have an authorized handicapped sticker or license plate.  If so, you may park in the Church’s back parking lot in a designated handicapped space.  NO PARKING IS ALLOWED BY VENDORS ON MAIN STREET EXCEPT TO UNLOAD AND LOAD ON SATURDAY.
  8. The Market does not provide tables or chairs to outdoor vendors.
