Vendor Expectations
Vendor fee: Spaces are $125 for a 10' x 10' and $250 for a 10' x 20' space. Vendor dues are collected via Venmo or PayPal. Payment is due within 7 days of notice of acceptance to the market (non-refundable). This fee will be used to help defray costs for the event including rental fees, staffing, marketing, etc.
Marketing: We will be marketing the event online and with signage, however to continue offering low vendor fees, we expect all vendors to assist in marketing the event. Vendors must periodically promote the event on social media (as many forms as possible) leading up to the event. You will also be asked to send photos to aid us in promoting your vendor space.
Cancellations: The event will take place rain (snow) or shine - thankfully we will be indoors! Vendor fees are non-refundable.
Number of Vendors: Unfortunately, we are not able to accept more than 25 vendors. Please indicate your anticipated space needs. We likely will contact those who were not able to be a part of the event for future opportunities.
No spaces can be shared. Only approved vendors may participate - one vendor per space.
Vendor Criteria: We are looking for vendors who are professional and can create a beautiful, curated space and draw customers to the event. Preference will be given to vendors that sell vintage items over 40 years old or handmade items (handmade by the vendor) that fit with our mid century modern/retro vibe.
Vendors are required and responsible for collecting and remitting any sales tax for any applicable proceeds at the event.
*The focus of the event is vintage - no hate speech, bullying of any kind or political debates will be tolerated.
