The Bella Befana Bazaar is held each year in the Month of October in honor of La Befana. Italian folklore says that La Befana is a witch that will bring candy or presents to good little girls and boys that leave their shoes outside their door. However, if you are bad then she leaves coal or black candy.
You
could assist our committee with planning and organizing or become a
volunteer and help out during the bazaar. Committee Members and
volunteers receive extra goodies from La Befana for all their hard work!
The BBB Committee Meetings are held every other Tuesday at 9:00 am at La Bella Vista. Upcoming meetings will be held on: 26 July
We prefer that these forms be printed

Each vendor will be granted a space only after all the required documentation and required information has been received and the deposit has been processed. There are a limited amount of spaces available at the Bazaar and thus a maximum of 12 spaces can be requested by each vendor. If you pay for more than 12 blocks, we will accept the extra money as a donation and you will be assigned 12 blocks for the Bazaar. We will start filling the spaces as we receive completed packets. You will receive an email confirmation when we have received all of the required paperwork that your registration is complete. Along with that email you will also receive your vendor identification number for the event and detailed vendor sales process instructions. The vendor identification number will be used to check vendors in and out of the event. Therefore, if you are the first vendor to complete all of your registration material, you will be given vendor identification number 1 and so forth. Vendor number 1 will be the first vendor to be able to check in and out of the event. We recommend that vendors, particularly those traveling from outside of Italy and with longer travel times, complete and return their vendor packets as soon as possible. The earliest completed packets receive the lowest vendor identification numbers.
Each year we strive to improve and provide the
best service possible to our vendors. Our goal is to
provide an easy avenue for new and veteran vendors to obtain information
regarding this year’s Bazaar, as well as obtain and submit their vendor
application quickly and efficiently. If you have any
questions about the attached vendor forms, please contact us by phone or
email at: bellabefana@gmail.com
