Application Process:
All vendors – both returning and new – must submit the online application form.

Returning Vendors:
NCA reserves the right to make all final decisions on the Celebrate Newton vendors; it is possible that a returning vendor from 2023 may not be invited to participate in 2024.

Vendors:
NCA will begin reviewing applications from all vendors after September 9th.

Selection Process:
Celebrate Newton is a juried fair. The jury tries to select the highest quality vendors of handmade arts and crafts across a wide variety of categories including, but not limited to, jewelry, pottery, clothing, artwork, crafts, paper goods, and accessories, so that we offer an attractive mix of products for our customers. We generally do not allow food products. NCA reserves the right to make all final decisions in selecting its Celebrate Newton vendors. We do not offer exclusivity in any category and may limit the number of vendors in each category.

Wait List:
Once the fair is full, we will develop a waitlist. Vendors on the waitlist will be contacted if a vendor drops out unexpectedly. Historically, a few vendors have been placed off the wait list each year.
