(library.santabarbaraca.gov) (library.santabarbaraca.gov) The name “Vendorville” appears across multiple public records and event uses: SupplyPike’s Vendorville newsletter was discontinued after the company’s sale to SPS Commerce with a final notice published Dec. 22, 2025, while separate Vendorville event listings and a Vendorville LLC filing in New York show the label used for local markets and businesses. (arkansasbusiness.com) (arkansasbusiness.com) Both festivals are relying on established organizers and ticket/listing platforms to coordinate vendors and programming — Namaste Thailand is listed on BookMyShow and promoted by the Royal Thai Embassy, while La Piazza is produced by La Piazza, Inc. (a nonprofit) in collaboration with the Santa Barbara Public Library (lapiazza.life; library.santabarbaraca.gov). (in.bookmyshow.com)
