Event Highlights & Atmosphere 

• Date & Time: 8 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM 
• Location: Woodlake Community Center (5020 Woodlake Village Parkway, Midlothian, VA 23112)
• Festive Features: To keep spirits high and shoppers warm, we’ll have patio gas fire pits roaring, festive holiday music playing, and a special appearance by Santa Claus himself!
• Indoor & Outdoor Experience: This year’s market spans both our indoor hall and our spacious outdoor patio, creating a seamless, cozy layout for vendors and visitors.

 Booth Space & Setup Guidelines 

Space Allocations: 

• Standard Space Limit: Each space accommodates either two 6-foot tables (in “L” fashion) OR one 6-foot table plus surrounding hanging space (window displays permitted with damage-free hanging tools like Command hooks). 
• Need More Space? Vendors requiring a larger setup should register for an outdoor spot along the lawn/walkway areas adjacent to the Community Center and bring a standard tent.

Tents & Display Needs: 

• Vendors are responsible for supplying their own tables, chairs, lighting, and tents (if applicable). (Lighting outside is good but we may dim them for a more festive atmosphere, so bring table lights.)
• Patio Vendors: Tents are generally not needed unless inclement weather occurs. If setting up a tent on the concrete patio, please bring appropriate weights (no ground stakes). Also, there will be additional space opportunities if it doesn’t rain or snow on the Patio because obviously, tents take up more room.  So, you may be moved from outside the Community Center to Patio area, day of pending weather.  Check in with Jenny before setting anything up. 

 Indoor Placement Requests: 

• Indoor spaces are strictly limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
• If you prefer an indoor spot: Email Jenny DeLorenzo at jennyd@woodlakeva.org to verify availability before completing your registration.
• If you are happy with an outdoor or patio spot: No need to email first—go ahead and register!
• Final placement assignments will be emailed to all registered vendors approximately one week prior to the event.

Arrival & Check-In: 

• Setup Window: Setup begins up to 2 hours prior to the start of the market (2:00 PM).
• Check-In: Please report to Lifestyle Services at the entrance of the Community Center upon arrival. A team member will escort you directly to your assigned station.

Social service agencies and schools refer families to The Salvation Army for help with Christmas. Participants are interviewed to verify that the family is truly in need. The Salvation Army then obtains the names of each child or special needs adult in the family and a list of their desired Christmas gifts. The wish list items that these individuals put together is ALL that they will get for Christmas.

Generous donors like Woodlake residents select Angels, purchase gifts, and return them to Lifestyle Services by the given deadline. The gifts are taken to a Salvation Army Christmas Distribution Center for the Angel families to pickup the seven days prior to Christmas Eve. This tradition allows Angels in need to experience a festive and joyful Christmas.

Lifestyle Services will work with the Angel Tree Foundation to choose an individual for you that meets your selections. Lifestyle Services will then email you to stop by the WCA office to pick up your individual’s Wish List.

Dates:

• Now until Nov. 8 – Please register online if you are interested in having an Angel chosen for you with your preferences in registration.

• November 9 & 10 – Lifestyle Services will get your Angel and notify you to come to the office and pick up their wish list. The wish list items that these individuals put together is ALL that they will get for Christmas – please make an effort to get everything on their wishlist.

• All gifts with tags, not wrapped, are due to Lifestyle Services on November 18 & 19th. Please make arrangements with Jenny DeLorenzo to drop off your gifts at the WCA Office at jennyd@woodlakeva.org. If you cannot make it on these two dates, please reach out to Jenny to meet on an earlier date.

This event is open to Woodlake residents and their invited guests only.
