According to the Toronto Star, in 2016, a “10’ x 10’ booth for the full 11-day Christmas edition costs $3,489 for vendors. This price tag has been enough to stop vendors from pulling the trigger on showcasing their products.

Obviously prices rise with inflation and a growing economy, but does the cost reflect the value? The show seems to be growing in popularity so if you have something people want at a cost-effective price-this could be the venue for you.
