Bridgeport DSSD Opens Vendor Applications for the Arcade Winter Market

The Bridgeport DSSD has partnered up with the Bridgeport Arts + Cultural Council, Pryceless Consulting, and the City of Bridgeport to present the Arcade Winter Market! This five-week Winter Market will be held in the historic Arcade Mall on Thursdays and Saturdays from November 13-December 20 (skipping Thanksgiving), and will include live music, activities for customers of all ages, and giveaways. Please review all event details included in the Market Regulations, accessible here, before completing the application form below. Note: the application form does not allow you to save your answers.

Vendor applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, via the online application form. Please note, a submitted application does not mean that you are automatically selected to be a vendor at the Winter Market. The Bridgeport DSSD and partners will review the applications and decide on which vendors to approve by Friday, October 17, 2025. All applicants will be notified by that Friday, whether their vendor application was approved or not. Any questions can be directed to hello@colorfulbridgeport.com or by phone to (203) 908-3622.
