We look for vendors that target a millennial customer who sell an affordable product. The first vendors accepted are the ones that best fit our brand and what attendees are looking for. The waiting list is notified if there is a space for them as early as one week after acceptances go out and have two days to pay their vendor fee. We generally have an average of 20 businesses on our waiting list for each market. If you can’t locate it in an email, that means that the application date in question has closed. A community email list is sent out on a weekly basis with all open applications. As certain application dates close, they are removed from their seasonal application. When do applications come out?Īpplications are released on a seasonal basis with four dates reflected per application (spring/summer and fall/winter applications). If you would like your setup to be done prior to arrival, it would be $75.
