⚠️ Important Notes
The Tidal Market will run from Sunday May 31 and every Sunday through September 27. The final day of the market will not be on Sunday, October 4, but on Saturday, October 3 in conjunction with Frederecia Day. This will ensure we maximize the day for our vendors.
Food truck vendors are free of charge and are considered on a pop-up level. Complete availability dates will be available in February.
Pop Up Vendors are scheduled on the 1st of every month for the following month, and the spaces are first come first serve. An email is sent on the 1st of every month asking for pop up vendors to attend the following month. The emails will start on for example the 1st of April to schedule for May 31st.
Vendor category selection is not guaranteed and depends on availability and market needs.
The market reserves the right to adjust vendor placement or participation to maintain product balance and variety.
Vendors wishing to change categories must submit a request to the market coordinator for approval.
