“As a brand new business, getting into the Cherry Creek Holiday Market was a little intimidating, and a bit of a marathon. But it was the best decision and the only reason I was able to lease a warehouse in Brighton to expand the business!
I will definitely be back!”

What marketing, PR and social media efforts will you be doing to promote the market?
We are doubling down like last year. As a market, our marketing and PR will run IN TANDEM with Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District’s campaigns directed by a national agency. In 2022, we secured over 51 unique stories with 64+ million potential media impressions. The stories included digital features, broadcast coverages, radio spots, and event roundups. Our social media campaigns in 2022 were unlike any years prior with bigger plans this year. We doubled our Instagram followers last holiday season and had over 200K+ impressions.

44 total storefronts are available, down 10 spots from last year. There will NOT be more spots made available.

Yes, our insurance policyholder requires us to verify that all our vendors are insured with $1M liability naming Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District and Cherry Creek Holiday Market as a location for our specified market dates. There are reasonably priced policies that can be found online or through your insurance broker or existing policyholder (auto, home, etc).
Is there a security deposit?
Yes, there is a $1,000 refundable security deposit collected at checkout. It will be billed in full for 1 payment option or divided in half for the payment plan option.
