The Vendor Village is located in the main access area to the INEC arena — meaning every competitor and guest passes through the space daily. This placement delivers constant footfall, repeated exposure, and genuine purchasing potential throughout the week. As a vendor, you are not simply selling products — you are contributing to and benefitting from a cultural gathering that brings together generations of Irish dance families from around the world.
