GUIDELINES

Are you a maker of the macabre? A curator of the curious?

We are looking for unique, high-quality vendors who embody the "Spooky Summer" aesthetic. If your work sits at the intersection of sunshine and shadows, we want you at our market!

Items we are looking for include:

Oddities & Curiosities: Texidermy, ethically sourced bones/skulls, wet specimens, preserved nature

Metaphysical Goods: Crystals, tarot/oracle decks, ritual tools, hand crafted incense, readers, psychics and mediums

Horror Merch: Spooky apparel, slasher-themed collectibles, antique dolls (you know, the creepy kind your Aunt Edna had)

The Arts: Dark illustrators, gothic painters and eerie photographers - NO AI will be accepted. All art must be original.

Apothecary: Hand-poured "Summerween" candles, herbal soaps and mystical oils, CBD/Hemp products

Handmade Decor: Haunted home goods, Victorian-style trinkets, bedazzled scream masks (you know who you are), and "creepy-cute" crafts!

When in doubt, APPLY! We will let you know if your items fit the theme or not!

VENDOR SPACE OPTIONS:

OR

$120 - One 10x10 space - no tables included, you are responsible for bringing all your own display items and tables. Your space must be set up for people to walk INTO, not around - as there will be other vendors next to you. (Up to 2 spaces max)
