VENDOR GUIDELINES

INTERESTED IN BEING A VENDOR?

Due to the high volume of requests, we have implemented an application process for potential vendors. Applications are due by Sunday, November 15, 2026, and all submissions will be reviewed after that date. We will contact you by Friday, November 20, to inform you of your status.

Vendor space at the Night Market is limited, and we regret that we are unable to accommodate all interested applicants.

All applicants will be notified of their status via email by Friday, November 20, 2026. Accepted vendors will be asked to confirm their participation within five business days by submitting the applicable vendor fee (external vendors, Villanova alumni, and current/former Villanova faculty and staff: $150; current full-time Villanova students: $50; Villanova student organizations: no fee). Payment may be made by credit or debit card.
