Registration opens for 38th Annual Depot Day community event

Registration for the 38th Annual Depot Day festival opened Monday, December 1, 2025, inviting community members, vendors, and organizations to participate in one of Gainesville's most popular annual events. Depot Day has become a cornerstone of Gainesville's community calendar, bringing together residents and visitors to celebrate downtown culture, local businesses, and community spirit. The festival features vendor booths, entertainment, food, and family-friendly activities. "This year's Depot Day promises to be another wonderful celebration of our community," said organizers. "We're excited to welcome returning vendors and new participants who want to be part of this special event." Vendors interested in booth space and community groups wanting to participate in the festival can register through the Downtown Gainesville Alliance or contact the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce. Space is limited and typically fills quickly, so early registration is encouraged. Depot Day attracts hundreds of visitors to downtown Gainesville and provides valuable exposure and sales opportunities for local businesses and artisans. The festival also supports community organizations through vendor participation fees.
