We are curating a Celtic Christmas market of handmade goods, Scottish fare and clan heritage for two days at The Fairgrounds Nashville. Space in each category is limited, and booths are confirmed as applications are accepted, so apply early.

We would especially love to hear from: tartan, kilt and woolen makers · leatherworkers and woodworkers · blacksmiths · Celtic jewelry and art · Scottish food and treats · Christmas décor and wreaths · clan and heritage societies (display-only booths are free)

The $100 deposit and booth balance are due November 4. Vendors accepted after that date pay in full on acceptance.
