Dear Vendor,

St Joseph’s Catholic Parish is holding their fifth annual craft fair this November. The Joy of Christmas Craft Fair  will be held at St. Monica Hall and the attached classrooms, located at 2811 Poole Road in Raleigh. 

Time and Date:

The Craft Fair opens to the public on Saturday, November 7th at 9AM and will close at 3PM. The vendor set up time is from 7AM to 9 AM and you should NOT tear down before 3PM. There will be no entrance fee for shoppers to attend the fair.

Deadline and Space Information:

All applications, with payment, are due no later than September 30, 2026. However, the earlier you apply the better the chance of being accepted.

There are 24 spaces available in St. Monica Hall. There is only allowed one space per vendor in St. Monica Hall due to the popularity of the space. The fee is $50.00 for a space in St Monica Hall.

There are 24 classroom spaces available. Each classroom contains 3 spaces. The fees are $40 for the window spot facing the door and $35.00 for classroom spaces along the wall. 

All spaces are 8 foot wide x 8 foot deep. Vendors will be limited to a maximum of two (2) spaces in

the classrooms or one (1) space in St. Monica Hall to ensure that a larger variety of products are offered. Power is limited and is available to vendors at no charge until the supply is exhausted.

A 6-foot table (1) and two (2) chairs can be provided for your use. Vendors must bring everything else that they need to operate their booth, i.e. additional table, display items, extension cords (minimum 25 feet, if you require electricity and safety tape to tape the electric extension cord to floor for safety). 

Set up Date and Time:

Set-up is on Saturday Nov 7th , starting at 7AM and must be completed before the fair opens at 9AM. All vehicles MUST be moved to the vendor parking area after unloading. Coffee, tea, and waters will be available at no charge for vendors during the set-up period and throughout the event. Assistance will be provided to help with moving in and moving out. 

Raffle Donation:

We require one item representative of your products (suggested value $15-$20) for door prize raffle baskets. Your raffle donation(s) are due by Wednesday, September 30th. It is important that we have your donated item (or items) in advance so we can package them into gift baskets for our raffle. Please attach your business card to your donation. Raffle tickets will be sold for these products. Winners will be chosen at the end of the day (3pm) on November 7th. 

All proceeds go towards much needed storage space for St. Monica Hall.

Vendor acceptance:

Vendors must supply a color photograph(s) of their products with the application form.

Vendors may NOT SELL any live animals, nor any drinks or food items that are intended for on-site

consumption. All food items must be individually wrapped or multiple items packaged in sealed packaging. No yard sale items. 

The Fair Committee may choose to deny a vendor based on appropriateness of products or duplication of a vendor’s products. We reserve the right to reject any application. Vendors are responsible for collecting and reporting all sales tax.
