Step number one is to determine what markets you want to apply for! Either purchase the application for ALL three (and save $5) OR select the individual market you’d like to apply for. Once you purchase the market application from the TLGS website, you’ll be emailed a google form. Fill out that google form and submit your response to apply. We will review applications and follow up with next steps by the date outlined in the event timelines.

Please note: events do have a particular theme to them so double check that and adapt your application to fit. For example: our Halloween market will prioritize fall and Halloween vendors, so note if you make scary earrings or haunted cookies, etc.

If accepted, you will be emailed information later with payment, load in, etc. All payments will be sent through our internal Shopify system (can use card, PayPal, and Apple to checkout).

Distribution Hall has three spaces we activate: a large indoor and A/C room, an indoor (but not insulated) warehouse room, and the outdoor space. In an effort for fairness and equity, the more weather-prone the room, the more space you get!

-Indoor A/C spaces are 6x6 feet (with 6-12 inches between to get in and out)

-Warehouse spaces are 6x8 feet

-Outdoor spaces are for 10x10 tents (must bring tent and weights)=

The warehouse and outdoor spaces are weather prone. During the summer, those spaces are subject to heat, so plan accordingly. We will do what we can to protect vendors from the weather, but we are at the Earth’s mercy.

In the event of weather, we will do everything we can to accommodate, but we cannot provide refunds for these spaces. Outdoor spaces are at your own riskl!

It is vital to us to curate and create an intersectional marketplace with diverse vendors.

In our selection process, we look at your chosen medium, your self-selected identities, your website/social account, the photo you upload, the uniqueness of your product/business, and any additional information you provide. We limit the number of vendors for each category so your brand can shine (for example: jewelry is the most common category and also the hardest to get in on).  

 We actively try to recruit and uplift marginalized voices and makers to participate so that the event is representative of our entire community!

 If you are not selected as a vendor, please note it has NOTHING to do with you or your business. We get hundreds of apps for 80-100 spots, so we have to be very selective. This process is not a science, so if you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

 The best way to increase the likelihood of acceptance is to have a unique point of view, create amazing products you can’t find anywhere else, and be a cool person <3 If there is important info we should know about you or your brand, include it on the app.

Your acceptance gets you the space that you applied for, social media marketing, access to pre-market events and networking, and listed on the event webpage.

 You can purchase add-ons separately (tables, tents, corner spots).

You are responsible for bringin everything else.

You must bring everything you need for a successful day (unless we have connected beforehand). This includes tables, chair, tent (if applicable), POS, product, merchandising displays, snacks, water bottle.

Electricity is not included. WiFi is provided. We typically have food and drinks onsite – if that is not the case you will be notified ahead of time.

The best thing you can bring is a positive attitude and a willingness to ask questions and for help if you need it <3

Load in information will be sent to accepted vendors a few weeks before the event. It will include times, parking, what food will be on site, activations, and any other pertinent information you might need.

These events are rain or shine. In the event of extreme weather, we will work with the venue to determine next steps (either a reschedule or partial refund).

If you accept and pay and need to cancel your spot:

• 30 days before the event: 100% refund (minus $10 deposit)

• 29-15 days before the event: 75% refund (minus $10 deposit)

• 14 days or less than before the event: No refund. If we can find an approved vendor to take your spot, we will transfer your fee to them and refund you 75% refund (minus $10 deposit), but we cannot promise this.

That said, if you are feeling ill or having an emergency where you can’t vend and can’t find someone to vend, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
