WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY:

We will provide a schedule for load-in and load-out for market day. Please inform us of any particular need you may have (disabled, injured, time conflict, etc.). We MUST know in your application. If you cannot be present for this entire time, you MUST notify us in the comments section when you apply.

OUR PRIORITIES:

We will not be accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis. Our mission is to amplify our local and regional vendors to the best of our ability, including prioritizing a non-competitive market as much as we can. Everybody is welcome to apply!

BOOTH FEES + BOOTH SHARING:

VENDORS: $60 per vendor

BRICK-AND-MORTAR SMALL BUSINESS: $100 per business

FOOD + BEVERAGE VENDORS:

- $70 per cottage food vendor.
- $90 per food or beverage truck/trailer.

We are willing to consider two vendors sharing a booth space. However, each vendor must apply and be accepted separately from the other. Instructions follow:

You must leave your desired booth partner's name and email in the comments section in your application.

If you are sharing a booth, the fee PER VENDOR is $20 off, totaling $40 per vendor instead of $60 for your booth.

WHAT THE VENDOR WILL NEED TO PROVIDE:

You will need a payment method (e.g., Square, Venmo, Paypal, etc.) and a data plan that allows you to connect. We will not provide WiFi.

• A table or booth: the space will be 10ft x 10ft. Don’t forget a chair!

• Sun & Shade: We recommend bringing shade for yourself, your products, or your whole table. This is the best way to protect everything from the spicy sun at altitude. Also, bring hats, long sleeves, sunscreen — anything you will need to protect yourself or your products.
  If you need help finding a tent for the market, please contact Dani directly at dani@wildsagecreative.org.

• Signage: We require a sign for your space—something with your name or business name on display. It doesn’t have to be huge, just big enough to see from a few yards away. You may hang it on the front of your table or from your popup tent if you’re using one. A chalkboard sandwich sign would work, as well, as long as there is a clear display of whose booth it is.

• Displays for your products: Small items don't look great lying on a table without some style or branding involved, like a tablecloth and/or decorations for your space. Any personality and display techniques you can come up with will work! We are not picky, as long as it’s inviting and appealing to get those sales! Get creative!

• Shopping bags: If you sell products that may be bought in bulk or are hard to carry without a bag, you will need to stay plastic-free when handing them out to customers at the market. Paper, cloth, recycled plastic bags from the store, etc., will work great.

• Inclement weather: We will be having this Market—light rain, light wind, clouds, or sunshine. If it is windy, you should be prepared with sandbags, buckets for water, or something weighted to help hold down your tent and/or table. Consider EVERYTHING with the weather.

MARKETING:

We will promote the market extensively through social media, online advertising, local publications, and local associations to ensure that we bring out as many shoppers as possible! We ask all of our vendors to also promote the market as much as possible! Tag us on social media, and we will reshare it!

CANCELLATIONS:

Weather: This market will be held in light rain, light wind, or sunshine unless we call it off due to extreme inclement weather or other extreme circumstances. Cancellations by Wild Together Market will allow vendors to receive a full refund of their booth fees.

Participant Cancellations: Due to the effort involved in organizing and planning for this market and the costs involved in advertising and turning away other participants once the market is full, a vendor's cancellation will result in a forfeiture of your booth fee, and we will replace you.

OTHER POLICIES:

Insurance: Each participant is responsible for their own business or personal liability insurance to cover any loss, damage, liability, or injury at the Wild Together Market. Participants waive any and all claims against Wild Sage Creative and its venue partners.

Permits + Taxes: Participants are responsible for paying the applicable sales/use tax for sales made at the Wild Together Market. If this is difficult because you are only taking cash or Venmo as payment options, we suggest adding the tax to your item prices ahead of time to account for this.

Safety + Health: We are dedicated to supporting the health and safety of participants and patrons. Mono County does not require face coverings anymore. However, if you feel strongly about wearing a mask at the event, we encourage you to stay true to your beliefs or comfort level. This festival is a safe space for anybody who wears a mask. While we will not be enforcing masks at these events, we will not tolerate judgment or negative comments towards any person choosing to wear a mask.
