Applications are now open for artisan and maker vendor spots at our upcoming holiday celebration, Merrymaking on West Merrimack!

Merrymaking on W. Merrimack is a holiday street festival to kick off the holiday season. For our fourth annual event, we expect over 1,000 neighbors and visitors to join us on West Merrimack Street for live music, seasonal food and drink, and holiday activities for all ages.

Vendor Information:

Date & Time: Sunday, December 6, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Location: West Merrimack Street, Manchester

Details: Each accepted vendor will be assigned one 10x10 ft space. A small vendor fee ($40-60) applies, to help cover operational costs. We will provide each vendor with one rectangular table.

If you missed tonight's Meet Your Neighbors gathering, don't worry - there's always another chance to connect at our next one.

The energy was electric, thanks to our fantastic hosts at 900 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria for the amazing spread and to our talented visitor and founding vendor from Wicked Joyful.

The Merrymakers are already laying the groundwork for our next big event, and we're eager to welcome new faces from our community.

🚧 UH-OH... We may have made a slight scheduling mistake. 😅

It turns out we planned our Meet Your Neighbors event in the middle of the Eversource Walk & 5K Run for Easterseals NH, which means Downtown Manchester will be a little difficult (okay, nearly impossible) to get around that evening.

Rather than have everyone train for a 5K just to get to pizza and conversation, we've decided to move the event by one week.

📅 NEW DATE: June 11, 2026
⏰ Same Time: 6:00 PM
📍 Same Place: 900 Degrees, 50 Dow Street, Manchester

Everything else stays the same:
🍕 Great people
🍸 Cash bar
🤝 New connections
🏙️ Downtown community vibes

You don't have to live on the block to belong here. Meet Your Neighbors is open to anyone who loves, works in, or wants to be part of Downtown Manchester.

Thanks for rolling with the change—we can't wait to see you on June 11th!
