15th Annual WRONG BRAIN HOLIDAZE BiZAARE
Saturday, December 12, 2026
11 am - 4 pm
The Community Campus Gymnasium
100 Campus Drive, Portsmouth, NH
FREE & AMPLE PARKING!
Completely ADA accessible!

The Wrong Brain HOLiDAZE BiZAARE is an annual multimedia arts open market and creative celebration! We bring you the strange, unconventional, underground, alternative and emerging art of the Seacoast and beyond. We are seeking vendors who offer original art, music, homegoods, skincare, jewelry, clothing, accessories, books, plants, toys, and MORE. Wrong Brain serves the fledgling, unconventional, and underrepresented artists of the Seacoast area and beyond. Our Holidaze Bizaare exists to fulfill the need for an alternative craft fair, creating space for those who are not warmly welcomed by traditional holiday markets.

THIS YEAR....
-workshops, skill shares, activities! In addition to the entire gymnasium and two lobbies at the Community Campus, we have access to the art room with a sink, tables and chairs for activities!
-scholarships! In addition to offering 3 tables at no cost to nonprofits or community groups, Wrong Brain is offering up to 3 vendor spot scholarships for makers. Priority will be given to first-time exhibitors, followed by creators who have done fewer than 5 shows, or experienced applicants with financial hardship.
-new spot size! We are now offering extended length end-of-aisle vendor spaces for those with clothing racks or other odd-shaped display items that need easy access. Spaces will be L-shaped and on the end of each aisle of tables.

ALL APPLICATIONS DUE BY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2026, at 10 PM. Notifications of acceptance will be emailed by October 21, 2026.

Not all who apply will be accepted. Space is limited, and we seek to curate a balanced market with a variety of goods and perspectives. Not allowed: multi-level marketing, AI "art", or any product or vendor displaying or promoting racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, xenophobia, ableism, or any other oppressive, discriminatory notion.

WOW! We are feeling immense gratitude to our community for making the 14th annual Holidaze Bizaare a massive success. This was our most ambitious market yet, & we are thrilled to say we had record attendance, record funds raised (over $1K at the door alone!), & many vendors reported record sales at their booths! The Portsmouth Community Campus was an incredible new venue, & we are looking forward to hosting more events there in the future.

Thank you so much to every volunteer, vendor, sponsor, & patron who came through & supported Wrong Brain & our creators. An extra thank you to for donating pizzas to feed our vendors, & .brew for donating tacos & kombucha to feed our volunteers, & for their ongoing support through many years of Wrong Brain events!

But wait… we’re not done!!!
