Holiday shopping season is approaching, and local entrepreneurs have an opportunity to put their products in front of customers looking for gifts, decorations, food, and handmade merchandise. For sellers in Seagoville, Crandall, Combine, and neighboring communities, several December events deserve attention.

However, finding an event is only the first step. Vendors must determine whether applications remain open, what products are permitted, and whether participating makes financial sense.

Kaufman’s Christmas on the Square

The City of Kaufman has scheduled its Christmas on the Square celebration for Saturday, December 5, 2026, in downtown Kaufman. The city’s vendor registration lists event hours from noon until 8 p.m.

Craft and retail vendors can apply for approximately 10-by-10-foot spaces costing $100 each. Registration is scheduled to close November 20, although available space is limited and sellers should verify that applications are still being accepted.

The event prohibits informational booths and restricts certain merchandise. Vendors must disclose what they intend to sell.

For handmade gift sellers and holiday merchandise businesses, this represents a documented December opportunity with a published registration process.

Forney’s Christmas on Main

Forney will hold Christmas on Main on December 5, from noon until 5 p.m., at 101 E. Main Street.

The celebration includes holiday vendors, activities, and family entertainment.

The Forney Arts Council accepted applications from artists and artisans selling jewelry, pottery, textiles, home goods, seasonal decorations, and other eligible products.

However, the application deadline was October 31. Late applications are not accepted under the published rules, making this an opportunity for approved vendors rather than a newly available booth opening.

More Markets Worth Monitoring

Forney Legacy Project operates juried markets with vendor registration through its online portal. Standard booth spaces begin at $110, although individual event fees and availability can vary.

Sellers should examine the organizer’s calendar and confirm specific December events before paying.

Downtown Forney Market is another organizer to follow for future opportunities. Its official 2026 fall schedule lists November 7 as the final announced market date.

Choose Customers, Not Just Crowds

A large event does not automatically generate profitable sales.

A seller offering premium candles may attract different customers than a business selling affordable snacks or children’s accessories.

Before applying, estimate booth costs, transportation, equipment, inventory, and the number of purchases needed to recover expenses.

A profitable holiday market begins with preparation, not simply showing up with products.

For small businesses, The Local Business Bulletin will continue highlighting opportunities worth investigating before the application deadline arrives.
