Vendor & Programming Opportunities

Overview

The City of Irving and Better Block are looking for vendors, entrepreneurs and community partners to help activate Main Street through creative experiences and pop-ups this fall.

Opportunities include outdoor vendor tent spaces, the option to use a retrofitted shipping container as a storefront, indoor storefront pop-ups, or the ability to program the space.

Featured Events:

Opening Weekend Celebration – Oct. 10 | 6–10 p.m. and Oct. 11 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Completed

Halloween Event – Oct. 31 | 6:30–9:30 p.m. Vendor Opportunity Closed

Small Business Saturday Event – Nov. 29 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Holiday Event – Dec. 6 | 6–9:30 p.m. (Held in coordination with the Holidays at Heritage and Tree Lighting)

While featured events are key highlights planned for the season, these events will be interspersed throughout a series of weekly activities and smaller-scale events running through Dec. 31. Dates are tentative and subject to confirmation.

Looking for an outdoor vendor tent space, food truck opportunity, or a chance to use the Better Block in a Box (retrofitted shipping container)? Get involved during featured events, weekly activities, or smaller happenings throughout the pilot program.
