Beware of Vendor Scams

Vendor scams operate by telling people they are being accepted as a vendor at Christkindlmarkt SLC. In reality, you are not being offered a spot but rather you may have been tricked into sending money to a scam artist.

Christkindlmarkt SLC will communicate with vendors exclusively via email and come from an @christkindlmarkt-slc.com email.

Christkindlmarkt SLC does not communicate with accepted vendors through Facebook, Instagram or any other channel besides the email addresses listed above. Vendors are only asked to pay vendor fees after formal acceptance (via email). If you have any concerns, we recommend ceasing communication and disregarding such emails as they are a scam. If you have received a vendor offer email that says it’s from Christkindlmarkt SLC and want to confirm its legitimacy, you can contact us at vendorteam@christkindlmarkt-slc.com.

Application Submission

Complete application by Friday, May 16th. You can apply online, by email, or by mail.
