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 2022 may not be invited to participate in 2023.

New vendors:
NCA will begin reviewing applications from all vendors after September 8th.

Selection process:
Celebrate Newton is a juried fair. The jury tries to select the highest quality vendors of handmade crafts across a wide variety of categories including, but not limited to, jewelry, pottery, clothing, artwork, crafts, paper goods, accessories, food products, etc., so that we offer an attractive mix of products for our customers. NCA reserves the right to make all final decisions on the selection of 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 wait list. Vendors on the wait list will be contacted in the event that a vendor drops out unexpectedly. Historically, a few vendors have been placed off of the wait list each year.
