The CozySeason Holiday Market - A Makers Gathering in Dallas

THE COZYSEASON MARKETPLACE & MAKERS GATHERING

Dallas, TX | November 14–15, 2026

ABOUT THE EVENT

The CozySeason Marketplace & Makers Gathering brings Dallas's best independent makers together for two days of handmade shopping, warm drinks and live making. Think of it as the kickoff to the holiday season: candles, ceramics, knits, small-batch food, jewelry, art, home goods and gifts you won't find in a chain store, all from the people who made them.

It's an indoor, weatherproof weekend market built for browsing slowly. Shoppers come to find one-of-a-kind gifts and meet the makers; vendors come for a curated, high-intent holiday crowd.

FOR SHOPPERS

Get your holiday shopping done early, in one cozy place, with gifts that have a story behind them.

• 60+ curated makers and small businesses, all handmade or locally produced

• Candles, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, prints, bath and body, home decor, pet goods and more

• Small-batch treats and warm drinks: cocoa, cider, coffee and baked goods

• Live making demos and short workshops (wreaths, hand lettering, ornament decorating)

• Gift wrapping station so purchases leave ready to give

• Family friendly, free entry, indoor and warm whatever the weather

Bring friends, bring a tote bag, and plan to stay a while.

FOR VENDORS

Sell to a holiday crowd that came specifically to buy handmade, two weeks before Thanksgiving, when gift budgets are open.

What you get:

• Two full selling days in an indoor, climate-controlled venue

• A curated lineup, so you're not competing with resellers or mass-produced goods

• Promotion across social media, local press, email and community partners, with every vendor featured

• 6 ft or 10 ft booth options, with electricity available on request

• Easy load-in on Friday evening and Saturday morning, with volunteer help

• Vendor lounge with coffee and snacks, and a dedicated vendor contact all weekend

Who we're looking for: makers of handmade, small-batch or locally designed goods. Candles, ceramics, textiles and knits, jewelry, art and prints, woodwork, bath and body, home decor, stationery, pet goods, packaged food and drink, and holiday gifts. Dallas–Fort Worth makers are our priority, but Texas makers everywhere are welcome.

Not a fit: direct-sales or MLM products, resold or imported goods, and franchises.
