Thank you for your interest in joining the Cagan Crossings Outdoor Market!
Prior to completing an application, please read the entire Vendor Application and Agreement and make sure your product meets the criteria and that you can meet the rules of the market. The Cagan Crossings Outdoor Market is a year-round weekly Market and not a one time festival. Please keep this in mind when applying to become a vendor. You are not required to attend the market every week; however, maintaining a consistent presence will help your business retain customers. Once accepted into the market, you can let the market managers week by week if you plan on attending. The earlier you let us know, the more promotion you will receive on our social media.
A Vendor Booth is $20 per week for a 10×10 space. Payment is due upon arrival unless other arrangements have been made. Vendors must provide their own tents, tables and chairs. Cash or money orders are accepted for payment and receipt will be provided. Once accepted into the market, you are not required to attend every week. You would inform the market managers when you plan on attending week by week. Please remember, the more consistent you are at showing up weekly, the more you will increase your chances of being a successful vendor at our market.
Vendor fee payment can be made online at Events By S&G.
The primary theme of the market is related to produce, plants, specialty foods and crafts. Other products and goods that are accepted are intended to supplement the core theme while adding color and variety to the marketplace. While not all of our supplemental products are homemade and/or handcrafted, we strongly emphasize those.
Approved vendors at the Outdoor Market must appropriate licensing from the county in which their business is located. The licensing for food vendors varies depending on the type of food and whether you are operating under Cottage Food Laws. It is the responsibility of each vendor to obtain all appropriate licenses and to have those in their booth at all times.
To submit an application please fill out the attachment and email it to market@cagan.com or drop it by the market or the Cagan Crossings Office. Please allow 7 – 10 business days for review of your application.
