VENDOR SCHEDULES

Vendors may apply for all 8 market dates or select individual dates they would like to attend.

Consistency in our vendor lineup is important to our regular shoppers and has been a key piece of customer feedback for the Indoor Market. Vendors who apply for consistent dates and offer grocery staples will be prioritized.

 

DECEMBER CHRISTMAS MARKETS

December 6, 13 & 20 will be fully holiday-themed, with a focus on creating a festive shopping experience.

All vendors participating on these dates are required to contribute to the holiday experience through:

• Christmas/holiday-themed table or booth decor
• Gift-ready products or gift options for shoppers
• Seasonal or holiday-themed products, where applicable
• A festive, thoughtfully presented display

Additional December pop-up spaces will be available for vendors offering seasonal products, gifts and other products that add to the holiday shopping experience.

Vendors applying for December dates will be asked to share their plans for their holiday display, seasonal products and gift options. Priority for December pop-up spaces will be given to vendors whose products and presentation contribute to the overall holiday market experience.

• Vendors may bring additional small tables (4 ft or smaller) for storage
• Vendors can use shelving or risers creatively, as long as everything fits within the 7x7 ft footprint
• Additional tables cannot be customer-facing, as there is not enough room for customer access.

• Space is designed to fit two 6 ft x 2.5 ft tables in an “L” formation for safe food preparation and service
• One 6 ft table is provided by LFM
