🎄 Old Mandeville Christmas Past Festival — FAQ Response Guide
When & where is the festival?
The 2026 Old Mandeville Christmas Past Festival will be held Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 10 AM–3PM on Girod Street in Old Mandeville. We’re looking forward to a wonderful day of shopping, food, activities, and Christmas fun!
How do I apply to be a vendor?
We’d love to have you apply! All vendors must complete our official SignUpGenius registration form. Completing the form allows us to keep all vendor information and agreements together in one place.
🎄 Complete the Vendor Sign-Up Form
I already filled out the original application. Do I have to fill this one out too?
Yes, please! We recently transitioned to a new platform to keep all festival information organized in one place. All vendors must complete the new SignUpGenius form, even if you previously applied, were approved, paid, or signed an earlier contract. You are not applying again and do not need to pay again. We simply need your information transferred into the new system.
Can I still get the Early Bird price?
Unfortunately, Early Bird pricing has ended, and we’re unable to extend that rate. To be fair to everyone who registered during the Early Bird period, we are keeping the published pricing deadlines consistent for all vendors. We would still love to have you join us!
What are the current vendor fees?
Please refer to the current registration form for the applicable vendor category, pricing period, requirements, and availability. This helps ensure you are viewing the most current information.

Does submitting the form guarantee my space?
Submitting the registration form does not automatically guarantee acceptance or placement. Vendor applications are reviewed so we can manage available space, vendor categories, and the overall festival layout. Please wait for confirmation before considering your space finalized.
I already paid. Do I have to pay again when completing the new form?
No. If you have already paid your vendor fee, you do not need to pay again. We still need you to complete the new form so your information is included in our current vendor system.
Are vendor fees refundable?
Vendor fees are non-refundable. Please make sure you are able to participate and have reviewed the festival requirements before submitting payment.
Can I choose my booth location?
Specific locations cannot be guaranteed. Vendor placement is determined by the festival team based on the overall layout, vendor needs, space requirements, and festival operations. Final placement information will be provided closer to the event.
Can I request to be beside another vendor?
You are welcome to submit a request, and we will do our best to accommodate it when possible. However, placement requests are not guaranteed.
When will vendors receive setup and placement information?
Detailed vendor instructions—including assigned location, setup procedures, arrival information, and other event-day details—will be provided closer to the festival once the final layout has been completed.
What happens if it rains?
Our scheduled rain date is Sunday, December 13, 2026. Additional information will be communicated to vendors if weather affects the Saturday festival.
Can food trucks apply?
Yes! Food trucks are welcome to apply through the same registration system. Please select the appropriate food truck option when completing your registration.

How can my business become a sponsor?
We have several sponsorship opportunities available, ranging from Community Sponsorships to our $5,000 Presenting Sponsorship. Sponsorships are designed to give local businesses an opportunity to support Christmas Past while receiving recognition and exposure at different levels.
What is a Community Sponsor?
Community Sponsorship is an accessible way for local businesses to participate. Contributions can include gift cards, merchandise, branded promotional items, products, services, or monetary donations that can be used for festival raffles and giveaways. Community Sponsors receive recognition on our Community Sponsor signage at the raffle area.
What does the $5,000 Presenting Sponsor receive?
Our Presenting Sponsor receives our highest level of festival exposure, including featured placement on festival advertising, radio and social media advertising, website presence, recognition on announcements delivered to Girod Street addresses, naming sponsorship of Candy Cane Lane, and the sponsor logo on digital photos from our Mobile Photo Booth Experience.
