What Is Holiday Market?
In early December, SAMU welcomes dozens of local and student creators to sell their crafts, artwork and other creations at the Holiday Market! The Market is an opportunity for students, staff and community members to shop for locally-made goods and to support independent creators like you, right here on campus. Not only is it a great way to earn some extra cash before the Holiday season, but it’s an opportunity to build your retail skills and make connections with your fellow creators and students.

SAMU Bucks
On each day of the Market, the first 20 students will receive SAMU Bucks, valid towards a $5 purchase at any Holiday Market vendor. At the end of the Market day, vendors may exchange their SAMU Bucks for appropriate financial compensation from SAMU.

• Vendors must be available for ALL three days of the market (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) for the full duration of the event.
