Welcome, Merchants, to Stierbach’s Holiday Faire!
We want to offer a broad range of wares, and invite any merchant with SCA (pre-1620)-relevant goods to apply. This includes books, ceramics, metalwork, garb, jewelry, fabric, musical instruments and recordings, toys, calligraphy and art supplies, looms, chairs, and … !!! De-stashers are also welcome, along with crafters and makers of all kinds. Registered merchants will be mentioned as the event is promoted.
The sales area consists of 3 permanent buildings. Two are fully enclosed, the third is a covered pavilion that will also host music. Other activities will also be hosted in the pavilion and one of the enclosed buildings. Everything is at-grade, there are no stairs or loading docks. The roads are primarily gravel, all floors are concrete. Restrooms are indoors with running water. Primary loading/unloading access to the enclosed buildings is through roll-up doors, but it can be challenging to have a close parking spot, especially to load out. We will maximize the amount of time vendors have vehicle access before and after the event, but ask that everyone be courteous and considerate of others’ needs as well.
In each of our prior two years on this site, approximately 400 people have attended. Sales hours will be 10-5, with a 4pm court likely and we won’t fault you for starting packing during it if you must. General gate opens at 9am so people can get through the line and settle prior to activities starting. Merchants may be onsite from 8am, and also 3-6:30pm the evening before.
Merchant registration is open NOW and closes Nov 13th.
