PAWTUCKET, R.I. (Sept. 10, 2026) – Centreville Bank Stadium announced today the addition of Vendor Village to the inaugural Rhode Island Island Lights Festival, the Ocean State’s newest holiday experience coming to the state-of-the-art venue this winter. Vendor Village invites Rhode Island artisans, makers, small businesses and family-owned vendors to apply to feature their business at the festival.

Rhode Island Lights Festival will run Nov. 27, 2026 through Jan. 3, 2027. Vendor Village will be open each night of the festival, providing local businesses with an opportunity to showcase and sell their products to festival guests throughout the holiday season.

Rhode Island Lights Festival is specifically seeking Rhode Island-based vendors, with an emphasis on locally made products, independent artisans, small businesses and family-owned companies.

“We want Rhode Island Lights Festival to feel authentically Rhode Island, and our local small businesses, makers and artisans are an important part of that,” said Centreville Bank Stadium General Manager Paul Byrne. “Vendor Village gives us an opportunity to introduce thousands of festival guests to some of the incredibly creative people and businesses found throughout our state while giving local vendors a unique place to connect with customers during the holiday season.”

Vendors will have flexibility in how they participate. Businesses may reserve a space for the entire run of Rhode Island Lights Festival or participate for shorter periods, allowing both established businesses and smaller independent vendors to find an option that works for them.

Booth space will be provided by Rhode Island Lights Festival, helping create a consistent, festive environment for vendors and guests.

Rhode Island-based artisans and businesses interested in participating can learn more about availability, participation options, requirements and the application process at: https://forms.gle/W5HvPATbQsE2AQpq7
