2026 Holiday Swing Vendor Application

THE 16TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY SWING IS COMING HOME!

Kansas City’s premier and original open-air, European-style holiday market is returning to Union Station, the place where it all began!

For 16 years, The Strawberry Swing has brought together some of the Midwest’s most talented independent makers, artists and small businesses, and this holiday season we’re bringing the magic back to one of Kansas City’s most iconic destinations.

Think twinkle lights, festive drinks, holiday music, incredible handmade gifts, local makers and that cozy Christkindlmarkt feeling right in the heart of KC.

Shop thoughtfully. Support small. Meet the makers behind the things you’re gifting. And experience a Kansas City holiday tradition back where it all began.
