Vendor Information

Everything you need to know before participating in a Hometown Vendor Market event.Hometown Vendor Market hosts craft fairs and vendor markets at venues across the country. Because every property is different, setup requirements, policies, and event logistics may vary by location.

Important: Always review the venue-specific requirements listed on the individual event page before registering. Venue-specific requirements take precedence over the general vendor information below.

Before You Register

All vendor registrations are completed directly through our website.

Once your payment is processed, you’ll receive a registration confirmation email and payment receipt. Our team will then review your registration for event and venue requirements, including product-category restrictions and duplicate vendors.

If we are unable to confirm your participation, we will contact you and issue a full refund.

Before registering:

  • Review the event dates, hours, location, pricing, and venue-specific requirements
  • Make sure your products and booth setup meet the requirements listed for that event
  • Confirm that you are available for the full event schedule
  • Review Hometown Vendor Market’s registration, cancellation, refund, and credit policies

Vendor availability and pricing vary by event, and certain product categories may fill quickly.

Preparing for Your Event

As we prepare the event roster, our Events Department will send a venue-specific Vendor Guide with the information you’ll need to prepare for your event.

Your Vendor Guide may include:

  • Check-in and setup instructions
  • Setup and breakdown times
  • Parking and loading information
  • Maps
  • Booth placement procedures
  • Venue policies
  • Important event-specific reminders

We also resend event information during event week with REMINDER in the subject line.

Please review all event communications carefully and check your spam, junk, or promotions folders if you don’t see them. We recommend adding info@hometownvendormarket.com to your safe sender list.

Booth Setup

Unless otherwise stated in the venue-specific requirements, vendors are generally responsible for providing their own booth setup materials.

Depending on the event, this may include:

  • Tables and chairs
  • Table covers
  • Displays and signage
  • Tent/canopy and required weights for outdoor events
  • Approved extension cords or lighting, when permitted
  • Other supplies needed to operate your booth

Setup requirements vary by venue. Some locations may provide tables or chairs, restrict certain displays, assign booth spaces, limit access to electricity, or have additional setup requirements.

Indoor events generally do not permit tents or canopies unless specifically approved. Wi-Fi and electricity are not guaranteed unless stated otherwise.

Always follow the requirements listed on your specific event page and in your Vendor Guide.
