Only approved vendors may participate in our markets and events. Interested vendors can fill out the form below to be added to our waitlist. When space becomes available in your product category, we will reach out to you via email to move forward in the application process.
Our standards are consistent across all of our markets and events. These standards can be found in our Vendor Handbook.
The following information will help you with the application process:
- Review our general vendor standards and your product category-specific standards listed in the Vendor Handbook. Some products require government licensing, permitting and inspections; we cannot accept you until you have those details in order. We’ll be happy to point you in the right direction and try to connect you with the information and people you need to operate legally, but ultimately it’s your responsibility to know the laws, regulations, and requirements for your business activity.
- We will not accept any items that are not handmade locally. Therefore, we do not accept vendors who are part of a national franchise or brand, or who are part of a multi-level marketing organization. You will be asked to provide photos or videos of you making your product, so be prepared.
- Attend the market as a customer, chat with the Market help desk, observe the way other experienced vendors are set up, and decide if market participation is a good thing for you. It’s a long day, often warm and loud, requires significant inventory and preparation, and most definitely qualifies as hard work — make sure you are mentally and physically prepared for the challenges ahead. It can also be a lot of fun!
- Talk with a member of our staff before submitting your interest if you have questions, or are uncertain if your product/activity will be a good fit for our markets.
- Login to the vendor forum, so that you can receive announcements and important information about upcoming events. The forum is our primary communication mechanism to vendors.
