Food vendors may not sell alcoholic beverages of any kind. Electrical access will not be available, so all food vendors will need an independent power source.

While participants eat at their own risk, vendors are responsible for upholding all state and regional codes and health regulations.

The Arts & Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana is bringing back the annual Holiday Art Walk, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Holiday Art Walk 2022 will feature area artists, delicious eats, live performances, and an extensive Outdoor Art Market, bringing a full-fledged street-side arts festival to the heart of downtown Lake Charles.

Vendors will be provided their own 8’ table, but may bring additional tables, easels, etc. to showcase your wares. Each booth space is 10’ wide, so tents and displays must not exceed that length.
