Artisan Market 2021
The Artisan Market is one of our favorite traditions to kick off the Advent Season. This is a free, family friendly event with live Christmas music, activities for all ages, local artisans, and food and drink vendors.
The Artisan Market is a chance for us to come together to shop locally, shop intentionally, and to purchase with a purpose. Each year participating vendors donate 25% of their sales to support a local organization. The 2021 event will benefit the work of R3 Development, a non-profit that empowers the youth of East St. Louis to have better economic futures.
Please submit your vendor application by November 10, 2021. The event coordinators will review applications and all approved vendors will be notified by November 19, 2021.
Friday, December 3 from 6:00 to 9:00pm.

- Vendors are permitted to bring your own decoration, table cloth, promotional items, or business cards to display.
- The event will not provide POS systems for vendors, so please plan accordingly on how you will process payments.
