Live Music by Charlie Gray of Duck Chuck Goose
Charlie from Duck Chuck Goose is not your typical "guy with a guitar." He adds looping, percussion, mashups and unusual arrangements to crowd favorites and deep cuts alike, creating an energetic performance that makes the perfect atmosphere for the market. Find him and his band playing at venues all over NoVA and at duckchuckgoose.com.
Live music from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.
Holiday Gift Wrap Drive for Doorways
Bring holiday wrapping paper, ribbon or bows to the market and drop them at the collection table near the entrance. Your donations help wrap gifts for the Doorways holiday gift collection, supporting Arlington families facing homelessness and domestic violence.
As a thank you, every roll of wrapping paper or bag of bows earns you a raffle ticket for fun prizes!

Vendor FAQ
Thinking about joining us as a vendor? Here are answers to the questions we hear most. Click any question to see the answer.
Registration and Fees
How much does it cost to participate as a vendor?
$75 for MONA members and $100 for non-members. Youth vendors are $25. Registration is open to both members and non-members.
Is there a registration deadline?
Registration is first-come, first-served, until November 6.
What does my vendor fee include?
MONA provides one 8' table to vendors who need one, plus 1 to 2 chairs as needed. Tablecloths are not provided. Marketing through MONA's outlets is described under Promotion and Exposure below.
Is there a cancellation or refund policy?
MONA can refund vendor registration if you cancel by Thursday, November 5 at 12 noon. There are no refunds after that time.
Can two businesses share a table or spot?
Yes. Please let the Events Coordinator know if you are sharing a table.
What You Can Sell
What kinds of products can I sell?
All vendors must have a physical item to sell the night of the event. Clothing, gourmet food, books, beauty items, candles, woodcraft, toys and similar goods are all welcome.
I run a service-based business (med spa, fitness studio, nutrition or supplements, etc.). Can I participate?
Yes, but the same rule applies: you must have a physical item to sell at the event. Service bookings or consultations alone aren't sufficient.
Are there exceptions to the physical-item requirement?
There are exceptions for vendors who make custom, made-to-order products. If that describes your business, please contact the Events Coordinator in advance and mention it when you register.
Can I offer samples, demos or mini-services in addition to selling physical items?
Yes.
Do food vendors need any special permits or documentation?
All businesses (except youth businesses) should have a current business license.
Event-Night Logistics
When can I arrive to set up?
Vendors sign up for a set-up time beginning at 4:15 PM. The sign-up will be sent directly to vendors by the Events Coordinator in late October. All vendors must be fully unloaded and set up by 6:15 PM.
When does breakdown happen?
Shopping lasts until 9:30 PM. Breakdown may begin at 9:30 PM and should wrap up by 10:30 PM if possible.
Where do vendors park and load in?
Vendors may park onsite in the Knights of Columbus parking lot or grassy field. Loading is at the main entrance of the event hall. The venue has a couple of carts to help with unloading, and MONA will try to have volunteers on site to help with load-in and load-out.
How much space will I have, and will I know my spot in advance?
Every vendor has one 8' table. If you need more space, please purchase a second vendor spot. The Events Coordinator will assign vendor locations and send a map to vendors in advance.
Is electricity available?
Limited electricity is available. Please contact the Events Coordinator if you need it.
Is Wi-Fi available for card payments?
Yes.
Is there food and drink for vendors?
There is no food available for guests or vendors. Every vendor receives 1 drink ticket. Guests can purchase a drink wristband in advance ($10) or at the door ($15).
Is there entertainment?
Yes! Live music from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. See the band details above.
Promotion and Exposure
Will MONA promote my business before the event?
Yes. Every registered vendor is included in MONA's general market promotion, which reaches our community of 2,400+ members. This includes the vendor lineup on this page, pre-event emails and save-the-date materials, and a spot in our pre-event "meet our vendors" social media posts, all at no extra cost. This year MONA is also sharing the Holiday Market with local media outlets and community organizations.
Can I get more individual promotion?
Individual, named promotion (solo email mentions, dedicated social posts, logo placement and more) is available through MONA's business sponsorship program, starting at $250. Email events@monamoms.org if you're interested.
Can I share MONA's event graphics and promote my participation?
Yes, please do! A Holiday Market media kit will be sent to vendors in late October.
How many guests attend?
In 2025, MONA had 205 guest registrations.
