Individual small business exhibitors insurance is required to be part of our events. This can be a simple policy through Duo ($13+ depending on the coverage you select, click here to visit for a quote) or a policy you already have that covers you while you are participating in events**Vendors will be hand selected based on being a handmaker/artisan, curated small shop/boutique, supporter/seller of handcrafted items. We are also looking for makers who take pride in their branding and set up their booth displays in an appealing way!
We are not accepting MLM at this time. As we aim for variety and uniqueness, this event will be carefully curated and therefore the number of vendors per category is limited. We want the best of the best with makers who clearly demonstrate their passion for their business/products and are collaborative, promotional and professional.
Unfortunately at this time, we cannot host distilleries/alcohol vendors or CBD/Cannabis/Hemp infused products due to our insurance. We are focusing on being a family-friendly event so please be mindful of 19+ graphics/adult language products to not be at the forefront of your display.
