How to Apply
The only way to apply as a vendor is through our website. We have noticed scammers on social media commenting on our posts, claiming spaces are still available and asking vendors to DM them for more information.
Please note, we NEVER take vendors through social media, and all applications must be completed by filling out the official form on our website. If you see any suspicious activity, report it immediately!
We’re thrilled to host this incredible event and can’t wait to see what our Young Makers bring to market! Be sure to check out our social media pages for updates, vendor spotlights, and more information leading up to the event. Thank you for supporting our community’s young entrepreneurs!
Our Vendors
What Do Vendors Need to Bring?
We encourage all participants to plan and prepare for a successful day of sales by ensuring they have the right setup for showcasing their products. We provide the space and promotional support, but Young Makers are responsible for bringing everything they need for their setup, including:
- Tables and chairs
- Tablecloths or displays
- Any other necessary equipment or materials
What Can Young Makers Sell?
The market is open to young creators aged 17 and under who sell products or offer services they have personally created. While we understand that younger participants may need assistance from an adult, the product should primarily be made by the Young Maker, and not by a parent or guardian. We also welcome young entertainers, including musicians and magicians, who want to showcase their talents!
