Become a Vendor
Vendor spaces are available for $130 and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

To be considered, interested businesses must first email with:

Business name
A brief description of the business
A complete list of the products, services, or menu items they plan to offer
Links to their website and/or social media pages (if available)
To help create the best experience for our vendors and attendees, we intentionally limit duplicate products and menu items whenever possible. This helps reduce direct competition and gives each vendor a better opportunity for success.

Businesses should wait for approval before registering, as vendor spaces are assigned based on product availability. Once approved, registration instructions will be provided.
