FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR VENDORS

  • Thanks so much for your interest in joining us! We currently announce all vendor application openings on Instagram or you’ll see a button labeled APPLY on our application page. We strongly recommend applying as soon as you see them open up as we like to book in advance.

  • We seek high quality, unique and (often) handmade work that makes us stop what we’re doing to say ‘wow’ (or occasionally ‘awww’). You get the idea. Whether you make sweaters, jewelry, or fine art, kids toys or books, offer custom poetry or tarot card readings- we’d love to learn about it! We encourage everyone to apply with us.

    To check out some of our past vendors by crusiing our Makers page or our Instagram.

  • When we have open applications you will find all information and booth size and cost options listed. Currently, our booth spaces range between $95-$175.

  • If we have a cancellation and there is time to reach out to see about filling it, we draw from the pool of applicants for that month.

  • If you’ve applied to pop up with us- first of all, thank you, it is an honor to review your work and never easy to run out of space. Also, our applications have become competitive. Our current residency is a smaller space, and with intentional curation, we unfortunately cannot fit everyone.

    We try to balance our market with returning vendors as well as new.

    If we haven’t been able to host you before we do encourage you to apply again with us- it doesn’t mean you won’t!

  • We do not offer refunds once you have booked your event with us. If you have to cancel we ask that you please notify us as soon as possible as it affects the layout and needing to recalibrate it after.

    Our event is rain or shine; with the rare exception of extreme weather which would cause us to cancel the event, in this case vendors would be offered a credit toward a future market.

  • No. But they may be first come first considered. If we see something we love that we absolutely want to have we may offer them a booth. This is most relevant in highly competitive categories (ie jewelry, candles, etc).

  • Aside from great energy, you’ll find all supplies either provided or needed outlined in the application.

  • We, as a market, do not. Most plazas have general wifi you can use but we cannot guarantee they will work for you.

    It never hurts to bring your own hotspot device if you think you’ll need it.

  • Whatever you like! As long as it is not taller than 6’ and does not exceed your allotted booth space. If you aren’t sure what would fit, the best thing to do is measure out the space size at home and see how to best configure your set up. Our vendors have used tables, racks, shelves and stands successfully :)

    We offer folding table rental should you need.
