Cleveland + Akron Bazaar Holiday 2026

Cleveland Bazaar is northeast Ohio's longest-running indie handmade holiday popup. We got our start at what is now 78th Street Studios in 2004 and have steadily expanded in the years since. We hosted our first holiday show in Akron in 2023. This form will allow you to apply to all currently-scheduled holiday Bazaar shows in 2026. We are opening applications as early as we can to give you additional time to plan your show schedule for the year. The dates for each show are as follows: Akron Bazaar: Friday November 27th through Sunday November 29th, $249; Lake Affect Studios: Saturday December 5th, $99; 78th Street Studios: Saturday December 12th-Sunday December 13th, $249; Last Minute Market, also at 78th St: Friday December 18th-Saturday December 19th, $149. We have established a $15 administrative/jurying fee for applications to encourage only serious applicants. We are a handmade only show, which means we do not accept MLM vendors such as Lularoe, Jamberry, doTerra, etc. We are a juried show, which means that your application will go in front of multiple people who will rank your application based on the information you supply. Applications in various categories are then compared against each other and rank ordered. Some categories are more popular than others (jewelry is particularly full every year). We strive for a balance of quality, a variety of price points across all exhibitors, and a number of other factors on the individual seller level, including success at previous Bazaar events, effective social media usage, and active promotion of prior Bazaar shows, if any. The last point is very important: we are far more effective when we work together. For the holiday shows we provide a hands on, how-to guide with instructions and expectations for pre-show social media promotion by our accepted sellers. If everyone does their part, EVERYONE succeeds. If you are accepted please understand we will expect you to participate, or ask for help if needed.
