2026 Jingle Bash Applications are Open!

The holidays may still be months away, but planning for North Texas' favorite handmade shopping event is officially underway!

Handmade DFW is now accepting vendor applications for the 2026 Jingle Bash, taking place on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Gilley's South Side Events Center in Dallas.

For nearly two decades, the Bash has been a holiday tradition for shoppers seeking unique, handcrafted gifts and for makers looking to connect with thousands of enthusiastic customers who love supporting small businesses and local artists.

We're looking for talented makers, artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs offering original handmade goods, including:

  • Jewelry

  • Apparel and accessories

  • Home décor

  • Art and prints

  • Pottery and ceramics

  • Bath and body products

  • Specialty foods

  • Children's items

  • Seasonal and holiday goods

  • And more!

 

Jingle Bash is more than a craft market, it's a celebration of creativity and community. Alongside incredible handmade shopping, the event features free DIY activities, food trucks, bars, a festive atmosphere, and the return of the coveted Bash Bags™.

Whether you're a longtime Bash veteran or considering your very first event with us, we'd love to see your work.

Applications are reviewed by our jury team to ensure a diverse, high-quality shopping experience for our attendees. Early applications are encouraged.

Date: November 21, 2026
Time: 11:00am-4:00pm
Location: Gilley’s South Side Events Center, 1135 Botham Jean Blvd, Dallas, TX 75215


Handmade DFW is a trade organization for handmade creatives who want to grow (or start!) their creative business.

Handmade DFW is opening membership again, and if you remember Etsy Dallas, this is the next chapter of that same creative community.

We’re a local trade organization for makers, artists, and creative entrepreneurs who want to grow, connect, and support each other. This is a space for artists at every stage, from just starting out to well established businesses. If you’ve been looking for your people, this is where you find them. Become a member to get access to classes and workshops, networking events, and mentorship and peer support.


We are now Handmade DFW Collective!

Nearly two decades ago we started as Etsy Dallas, supporting local Etsy sellers.

As our community grew beyond Etsy, we became Dallas M.A.D.E.

But we quickly realized that our makers, artists, and small businesses span across North Texas, so we’re stepping into a name that truly fits.

We are now Handmade DFW Collective!
Same heart. Same mission.
Just more room for our growing handmade community.
