How do I register for the market?

Visit the “Vendor Application” page on my website and complete the form online.

• All applications are subject to approval. If duplicate vendors are booked, your fees will be returned.

I texted you that I was interested; why can't I just show up and pay on the day of the Market?

All registrations must be completed through this website.

• Your registration automatically updates our spreadsheet. If you don’t register, you won’t appear on the sheet, and we won’t have a record of your attendance.

What's a “C o I” and why do I need one?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is required to ensure vendors have liability coverage in case of accidents or damages. This protects both the vendors and the market.

My application was returned. Why?

If your application was declined, it means:

1. The market is full.

2. We’ve reached the quota for your product/service type.
   Example: Some markets don’t allow food vendors.

What do I bring to the market with me?

• Canopy (for outdoor markets)

• Indoor markets: 6 foot table Outdoor markets: any size table/displays that fit your canopy

• Table coverings (must reach the floor)

• Chair

• Product displays

• Your products

I registered and paid for my space. What happens next?

After registering and paying, you will:

1. Receive a confirmation email from us.

2. Receive a setup email and event graphic to advertise the market on social media (3 days before the event).
   If you don’t receive the setup email, contact Jenn at info@hearhereevents.com.

Am I eligible to sell at this market? Yes- if :

1. the items you sell are new and handmade by the seller

2. if the items are new but not handmade by the seller participation is at the discretion of the Organizer

3. No resale is permitted. Exceptions are at the market manager’s discretion

Can I join a waiting list if the market is full?

No, we do not have waiting lists. All markets are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why do I have to advertise?

Advertising is a group effort that benefits everyone.

• Most followers of Hear Here events are vendors, not buyers. Sharing the event with your audience helps attract customers interested in your products.

• Advertising (paid and free) is done in advance and continues throughout the market day.
