PLEASE NOTE

We currently have a waiting list of Artisain vendors for this season.

1. Vendor Booths are $25 for a 12 x 12 space. Additionally, it is $20 for tent rental if you do not have your own. To ensure some predictablitly in organizing each market day, once approved an invoice will be sent and you are liable for this fee even if you fail to attend. Exceptions will be made, of course, for special cases as long as reasonable notice is given.

2. Vendors and their items sold must be both approved by our volunteer committee and the Local Health Unit. Currently the health unit expects 60% of our market to be produce vendors and, therefore, we are not accepting as many artisans at this time. Current artisans/ crafters have special permission to attend markets by the health unit as they sell soap.

3. However, we are taking in all applications case by case and keeping them on hand as the situation changes. We will do our best to keep you informed.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not heistate to email us at wallaceburgfarmersmarket@gmail.com. You can find more information about or Covid-19 set up on our facebook page.
