ROSEMEAD — Rosemead Holiday Craft Fair registration is open for local crafters and artisans interested in selling handmade goods this holiday season. Vendors can apply through Nov. 13 or until available spaces are filled.
The city will hold the fair Saturday, Nov. 21, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Garvey Community Center, 9108 E. Garvey Ave.
The annual event gives local makers a place to showcase their work as holiday shopping begins. Past fairs have featured artisan-made arts and crafts, while offering shoppers an alternative to larger retail stores.
Rosemead Holiday Craft Fair Registration Opens
Prospective vendors should contact the city before the Nov. 13 registration deadline. Registration could close earlier if all available spaces are reserved.
The city’s promotional material does not specify a vendor fee, table size or eligibility requirements. It also does not state whether vendors must live or operate a business in Rosemead.
The flyer does not provide rules covering permitted merchandise or an online application method. Vendors should confirm those details directly with city staff before registering.
Rosemead’s published fee schedules include separate provisions for vendor booths at city special events. Those schedules have distinguished between Rosemead nonprofit organizations, other nonprofits and other vendors. The available event flyer does not state whether those general fees apply to this year’s craft fair.
Prospective vendors can call 626-569-2212 for current registration information.
Fair Offers Local Holiday Shopping
For shoppers, the Rosemead Holiday Craft Fair provides an opportunity to browse handmade items in a community setting. It also gives visitors a chance to meet the people who create the products they purchase.
A listing for the 2025 fair described that event as free to attend and held at the same Garvey Community Center location. This year’s promotional material does not specify whether admission will again be free.
The city has not announced a vendor lineup or detailed the types of merchandise expected this year. Information about parking and other activities was also not included in the material available for the event.
Residents can visit the City of Rosemead for city information and updates.
Community Center Hosts City Programs
The Garvey Community Center serves as a venue for community programs and activities throughout the year. City records list the facility at 9108 Garvey Ave.
Rosemead also maintains information about recreation programs and community events through its Parks and Recreation Department.
For local artists and crafters, the Nov. 13 deadline leaves several weeks to seek a space at the fair. Early registration may be important because the city plans to close sign-ups once vendor capacity is reached.
For residents, the Nov. 21 event offers a local start to holiday shopping while bringing community members and independent makers together under one roof.
