Foster City Holiday Market Calls for Vendors and Community Groups

It’s that time of year again when twinkling lights start popping up and the scent of pine drifts through the streets of Foster City. This November, the local Chamber of Commerce is rolling out the red carpet for anyone who loves a good holiday market.

On Saturday, Nov. 14, Edgewater Plaza will transform into the “Mistletoe & Magic” Holiday Market. The Chamber is looking for a mix of local artisans, crafters, makers and small‑business owners to claim an 8‑by‑8‑foot spot inside the plaza’s vacant storefronts. The price tag? A modest $40 per booth. Vendors will need to bring their own tables, chairs and any display goodies they like – think of it as a pop‑up shop, but with a lot more festive flair.

But the market isn’t just about booths. Schools, nonprofit groups and even neighborhood clubs are invited to adopt one of the empty windows and turn it into a holiday masterpiece. The window‑decorating window runs from Nov. 6 through Nov. 13, giving participants a full week to deck the glass with lights, ribbons, handmade ornaments or anything that screams “season’s greetings.” Best of all, the window space is completely free.

When the market day arrives, the decorated windows will be showcased on the city’s social‑media channels, and locals will get to vote for their favorite display. It’s a friendly competition that adds a dash of community spirit to the shopping experience.

Interested vendors or groups can hop over to the official Mistletoe & Magic registration page to sign up, learn the exact layout of the plaza, and get the low‑down on any logistical details. Spaces are limited, so the sooner you register, the better your chances of securing a prime spot.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter looking to sell a few holiday gifts, a budding entrepreneur hoping to test the market, or a school art class eager to spread some cheer, this is a chance to get seen, get involved, and maybe even win a little community applause. Grab your glitter, pack your tables, and get ready to make Edgewater Plaza sparkle.
