FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHEN IS THE MARKET OPEN?

The Sunday Market is open from 11am - 4pm, May 5th through October 20th

Holiday Markets begin in November and go through December.

Specialty Pop-Up Markets and Night Markets occur throughout the year. Visit our “Attend” section for more up to date information.


WHAT IS THE BOOTH FEE?

A 10 x 10 booth space is $35, pre-paid flat fee and a 10 x 20 booth space is $50.

Every approved vendor pays an annual $50 Membership fee. If you vend frequently throughout the summer, this fee will equate to around $2 per day. The $50 Membership fee gives vendors access to all of our Summer Markets, Holiday Markets, and Pop-Up Events. Vendors will also have free access to any Business Development Workshops the Market hosts or partners with other community organizations to host.


HOW MANY VENDORS ARE AT THE MARKET AND CAN VENDORS SHARE?

Our booth capacity is 40 10 x 10 spaces. We encourage vendors to share booth spaces!


WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTS A VENDOR CAN SELL?

We prioritize vendor applicants who make their product or source their materials locally and/or ethically. We feel strongly that whatever a vendor chooses to sell should not culturally belong to historically marginalized groups unless the vendor identifies with these groups.


HOW ARE VENDORS SCHEDULED? ARE THEY REQUIRED TO SIGN UP FOR EVERY MARKET DAY?

Vendors are scheduled a month in advance for all of their Market Days with the intention of providing more equitable access to the market. After the initial round of scheduling, folks may sign up for Market Days on a first-come, first-serve basis. Farm and Food vendors are encouraged to vend at every Market Day and will be given priority in scheduling. Artist and Maker vendors are guaranteed a space at two Sunday Markets per month and are often able to vend more frequently.


IS BUSINESS INSURANCE REQUIRED?

Business insurance is ONLY required for farm, food, beverage, health & wellness, CBD & hemp, and cosmetic vendors. Artist and craft vendors are not required to have business insurance to vend.


WHEN SHOULD I APPLY?

Applications typically open two months before Opening Day (the first Sunday in May) stay open all season. They will be reviewed on a monthly basis. Check your email for an application response. We always respond to everyone!
