THE MISSION
The mission of the Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt is to provide the City of Cincinnati with a wintertime tourist destination by providing an engaging and authentic European cultural experience. Vendors participating in the Christkindlmarkt must be committed to partnering with the market in order to provide this experience to the visitors of the Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt.
PLEASE NOTE
The Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt is a winter market – plan to be in operation in cold temperatures. Sales associates should dress in warm clothes, and should be comfortable in cold temperatures for extended periods of time. While the staff of the Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt is happy to partner with contracted vendors and function as a resource to the entire market, market staff will not be available to individual vendors to provide retail staffing support. Vendors may not rely on market staff or volunteers in order to provide temporary staffing support or restroom breaks for your stand. This will require having more than one staff person in order have bathroom breaks!
WHAT WILL BE PROVIDED?
The Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt provides vendors with either a 10’x10’ stand that includes overhead lighting and an approved heater. A base electrical circuit is installed that provides a 2 plug 110V outlet. Each stand exterior is decorated by the market, and a custom sign will also be provided (must submit graphics and information for this sign). Marketing for your retail operation will be provided via Christkindlmarkt publications, social media, and website. Garbage is removed by the market on a nightly basis, per Christkindlmarkt protocols.
