Hi friends!
It’s that time again — our Outdoor Markets are back for another season at Mankato Vintage Market!
Market Dates: We’ll be hosting markets on the last Saturday of each month, with the exception of May, which is Memorial Day weekend.
May 23, June 27, July 25, August 29, September 26
Each event runs from 10 AM to 4 PM.
A Few Quick Notes:
ST-19 Form: Please fill out an MN ST-19 Form and bring it with you the day of the sale. The Mankato tax rate is 7.875%. I can email the form to you when you sign up.
Payment + Sales: You’ll be handling your own payments, so come prepared with enough cash to make change.
Food & Drinks: We don’t have any food trucks lined up at the moment, so plan ahead. Bottled water will be available inside — help yourself!
Restrooms: Vendors are welcome to use the restroom inside the store. (It’s not available to the public — feel free to direct customers to nearby gas stations.)
Weather: Rain or shine! It’s your call if you want to set up in the event of rain, but please bring weights for your tent — wind is always a wildcard.
Sunscreen: Trust me. Just do it.
Cost:
$30 per 10x10 space, per event
Pay when you arrive (cash or card)
Set Up & Tear Down:
Set up starts at 8:30 AM at 1630 North Riverfront Drive.
I’ll show you where to set up when you arrive. Please bring a tent and be ready to go by 9:45 AM.
After unloading, please park either on Ruth Street or across the street (not in the customer parking lot).
Tear down begins at 4:00 PM — please clean up your booth area and be mindful of others loading out at the same time.
As always, Mankato Vintage Market isn’t responsible for lost or stolen items.
Help Us Spread the Word:
Share that you’ll be vending on your social media! We’ll be creating Facebook Events — tag us @mankatovintagemarket and invite your friends! If you know anyone that would be a good vendor, feel free to spread the word! The more the better!
Follow us on Facebook + Instagram if you haven’t already.
Thanks again for being part of our little market community — we’re looking forward to a fun season! Let me know if you have any questions.
