Galsgiving Market
WHAT IS GALSGIVING MARKET?
Galsgiving Market is a community-centered shopping event hosted by the YMCA of Van Wert County, bringing together local small businesses, makers, creators, and vendors for a fun day of shopping, connection, and community support.
Guests will have the opportunity to shop from a variety of local vendors, discover unique products and services, find gifts for the upcoming holiday season, and support businesses right here in our community.
But Galsgiving Market is about more than shopping—it’s about bringing people together, supporting local entrepreneurs, and giving back to our youth.
WHY ARE WE HOSTING IT?
We believe small businesses and local entrepreneurs are an important part of what makes our community special. Galsgiving Market gives vendors an opportunity to showcase what they do, connect with new customers, and build relationships with other local businesses.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will support youth dance events at the YMCA, helping provide opportunities for children and families to participate in fun, positive experiences throughout the year.
Our goal is to create an event where everyone benefits—vendors get an opportunity to grow their business, shoppers get to discover something new, and our youth programs receive additional support.
WHEN IS IT?
Saturday, November 21, 2026
The event will take place at the YMCA of Van Wert County.
More event details, including shopping hours and vendor information, will be shared as the event approaches.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Galsgiving Market is open to the community! Whether you're looking for holiday gifts, something unique for yourself, wanting to support a local business, or simply looking for a fun way to spend part of your Saturday, there will be something for everyone.
Bring your friends, bring your family, and come shop local, support local, and give back!
HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
Interested vendors are invited to join us! Vendor spots are limited.
Vendors may participate by providing a basket donation to be raffled, which can serve as their entry fee, or by paying the $50 vendor fee.
All proceeds raised through the event will go toward supporting YMCA youth dance events.
