Beware, the scammers are out there. You will only be receiving correspondence from a chattanoogamarket.com email address :wink:

New to applying for a vendor however, have been attending for years. I applied for Chatt Mkt @ the pavilion a few days ago and was notified I am on the waitlist. Does this mean this application is also for the river mkt (checked the box) or do I need to fill out another separate app? I met a few of y’all in Nov at the pavilion before a mkt and had a really good & helpfulconversation - very much hoping I’m able to be a vendor this season! :folded_hands:t2:

Thank you!

If you checked the box, you are on the waitlist. It takes a while, depending on your category and uniqueness.

Thanks for the quick response, Chris! I met some of the Chatt mkt staff at the pavilion last Nov (Brandi & I think you as well) and discussed/showed the uniqueness :oyster::artist_palette:. Very much hoping to be with y’all this season!

I was having issues signing up for markets last year even though I was approved and attended orientation. I tried all of the troubleshooting options that were suggested but the problem was never resolved. How soon will I be able to see if the market sign-up issue is still a problem? Thanks!

There are no current registration issues, Lillie - and I checked, you are configured to register for Chattanooga Market events once they go live (around March 1). Watch this vendor portal for those announcements
