What: A makers market and bar crawl in one fun event! Join us in the Ivy City neighborhood of Washington, D.C. for the Ivy City Makers Market & Bar Hop!
VENDOR INFO:
Vendor selections are curated. The goal is to have a diverse offering of products with a solid mix of established vendors and new-to-the-scene vendors. It's also a goal to keep from over saturating any one category.
Vendor selection is based on originality and product selection. Booth presentation is also a factor for established artists. If there is a debate on which vendor to include with similar products, we typically choose the vendor more local to the event, however makers from out of the region or state may apply and may be accepted as well.
It is important to remember: All vending spots for I Heart Indie Markets events are located at adult beverage producing venues. Although lots of fun, these types of venues can sometimes have darker lighting, have abnormal booth placements (ie, next to brewing equipment, placed around a taproom, beer garden, etc) and can sometimes have a strong alcohol smell. Vendors are welcome to bring their own battery powered lighting, should extra lighting be needed.
All of our events include vendors who produce handmade and/or hand crafted items. Curated vintage vendors and fair trade vendors are considered and may also apply.
We DO NOT accept MLM or direct sales vendors at this time, and ask that you do not apply. Those MLM and direct sales vendors who do apply will be automatically disqualified as a vendor.
Read more about what products you can and cannot bring on our Q & A page.
There is no fee to apply.
Applications are open until April 9, 2024
Vendors will be notified if they are accepted or not by April 10, 2024
