what is included in the vendor fee?
Your vendor fee includes a designated vending space, as well as pre-event marketing promotion through digital publications, social media, and in-person flyers. Vendor fees also help us meet venue requirements and manage event logistics.
What is the Charity Pledge %?
On top of the flat vendor fees, we require each participating vendor to pledge a minimum of 5% of their event profit to the chosen charity per event. This model is part of our mission to collectively rise up and give back to local charities that are directly supporting the community through services and programs. It is our hope that vendors participating in our markets not only want to sell and grow their business, but can find a way to reconnect with the surrounding areas through nonprofits.
