Magical Christmas Holiday Market

Vendors will be allowed to sell/showcase their products and/or services during regular banking hours. There is only room for 12 vendors.

Set up is scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. prior to the bank opening. Tear down will be scheduled at 5:00 p.m on Friday. To register go to our website and register for the Magical Christmas in Glenwood Holiday Market.

We typically do not allow duplicate vendors with the same products and/or services at this event due to limited space, company rules, and/or Chamber & Welcome Center policies and procedures. We have, however, in the past, worked with people to share a space or each take one of the two days if vendors so choose.

Registration Open for the

Lighted Holiday Parade
